Die Welt Says Syria Tested Chemical Arms

(Source: Deutsche Welle; issued Sept. 15, 2004)

The German daily newspaper Die Welt claims that Syria tested chemical weapons on civilians in Sudan’s Darfur region in June resulting in the deaths of dozens of people.

The newspaper says that “unnamed western security sources” indicated that the weapons tests were undertaken following a military exercise between Syria and Sudan. The accusations appear in an advance release of its Wednesday edition.

The United States has accused Syria in the past of trying to acquire materials and the know-how to develop chemical weapons and claims that Sudan has been seeking to improve its capability to produce them for many years.
