Syria chemical weapons ‘moved to borders’, report

Share:

Beirut, Llebanon – The Syrian government has moved chemical weapons to airports on its borders, the rebel Free Syrian Army said on Tuesday, a day after the regime warned it could use them if attacked by an outside force.

“We in the joint command of the Free Syrian Army inside the country know very well the locations and positions of these weapons,” a statement from the FSA said.

“We also reveal that [President Bashar] Assad has transferred some of these weapons and equipment for mixing chemical components to airports on the border.”

The statement said the weapons had been moved in a bid to pressure the international community, much of which has called for Assad to step aside in the face of a 16-month uprising against his rule.

“According to our information, the regime began moving its stocks of weapons of mass destruction several months ago… with the goal of putting pressure on the region and the international community,” the FSA said.

But the group said it was impossible to believe that the regime would use its weapons against neighbouring Israel, which has publicly expressed concerns about the fate of Syria’s massive chemical weapons stocks.

International condemnation

“The regime that has not fired a single bullet against Israel during the course of three decades is certainly not going to use chemical weapons against that country,” the statement said.

The Syrian regime made public reference to its chemical weapons stocks for the first time on Monday, with foreign ministry spokesperson Jihad Makdissi warning they could be used if outside forces attacked.

“Syria will not use any chemical or other unconventional weapons against its civilians, and will only use them in case of external aggression,” Makdissi told reporters.

“Any stocks of chemical weapons that may exist, will never, ever be used against the Syrian people,” he said, adding that in the event of foreign attack, “the generals will be deciding when and how we use them”.

The comments sparked international condemnation, including from the United States, with US President Barack Obama warning Syria not to make the “tragic mistake” of using such weapons.

Makdissi backtracked somewhat later, stressing in an e-mail that Syria would “never use chemical and biological weapons during the crisis… and that such weapons, if they exist, it is natural for them to be stored and secured”.

    Israel knows it , the world knows it. only due to big media propaganda we have been deceived. Dog bashar destroy Israel, Iran wipe out Israel and Hezbushaitan also destroy Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But in reality these scums help Israel to invade Palestinians land. Sold Golan height!!! 

    Israel now a days are showing concern that this weapon might fall in to the hands of Hezbushaitan! well isnt it well known that Hezbushaitan,Iran,and Dog bashar are operating together? 

    Dog bashars chemical weapon are shared and possessed by the click trio Iran , Hezbushaitan and the Alawites regime. Any of them have access to those weapons. The real concern for Israel is the sunni resistance and with their criminal mind they certainly recall all the atrocities against the sunnis. Still trying to fool the sunnis against their controlled opposition i.e. Hezbushaitan the Israeli border guard, Iranian leaders the cripto Jews and the Alawite the secret Jew tribe i.e. Banu Kalb. 

    I do not support this chemical weapon to be used on any one. Any one who use these weapon will face a harsh judgement by Allah. The sunnis with a sane mind would not use it on any population Inshallah. We should be concerned of those who produce these weapons including nukes. These arms kill anything that moves and any other living things and destroy anything; This is the madness created by the superpower and many superpower wanna be also dream of these weapons. I fear that in order to use these weapon on the Sunnis , Israel Iran and Hezbushaitan or these Dog bashar might create a false flag operation to justify the use of chemical weapon on the Sunnis. Well its a sad event but whoever fear Allah the Lord of Abraham should abstain from heinous crime for their own benefit. Because when the wrath of Allah starts on the criminals you cant turn back the clock.
