Syria, Iran Plot Deal on Nuke Scientists

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is attempting to broker a deal with Iran to secure safe haven for a group of Iraqi nuclear scientists who were sent by Saddam Hussein to Damascus before the U.S. invasion. [more]

Western intelligence officials believe that President Asad is desperate to get the Iraqi scientists out of his country before their presence prompts America to target Syria as part of the war on terrorism. [telegraph.co.uk]

Intelligence agencies have evidence that Damascus has purchased gas centrifuges from North Korea, which are an essential component for developing nuclear fuel for weapons. And who did Asad call when he wanted these Iraqis out of Syria? The Iranian mullahs, who have been working on their own nuclear research and probably would like the assistance. [more].

Did Saddam have a WMD program? There really should be no question about it. What is striking is the Syrian response to diplomacy and the country's exploitation of Saddam's WMD legacy.
