Where Are Saddam's WMD?

From Omega Newsletter

Intelligence gathering, including defector testimony, indicated that even in August 2002, before Saddam let UN inspectors back in, indicated that Iraq was still receiving WMD components and materials through Syria.

On January 17th, according to Italian sources, Saddam Hussein signed a secret agreement with Syria. Iraq would send three CDs of formulas and technical information about weapons including nuclear explosions; 3 test-tubes full of anthrax and botulinum spores; and detailed analysis of tests carried out with these weapons on people to Syria, in exchange for Syria harboring Iraqi scientists, technicians and their information.

By the end of February, three Iraqi microbiologists and a small group of technicians would be safely in Syria, and a top nuclear physicist and his team soon arrived soon after, in early March.

Syrian defectors are also confirming that Assad is hiding the weapons. Nizar Najoef, a respected Syrian journalist who has received awards for his integrity, has defected to Western Europe and told the Dutch press that Syria is holding Saddam’s weapons in at least 3 secret sites.
