“Foreign experts: Syria secretly built 30 underground bunkers to enable rocket attack before IAF can destroy them”

“Foreign experts: Syria secretly built 30 underground bunkers to enable
rocket attack before IAF can destroy them”
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 30 April, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Yediot Ahronot correspondent Arieh Egozi reports in today’s edition [page 9] that foreign experts say Syria has built a huge underground compound that includes 30 steel reinforced concrete bunkers, production facilities, development labs and command posts. This new “rocket city” has missiles that can cover the entire area of Israel. In contrast to mobile deployment systems that are easy prey to air attacks, the bunker system is designed to enable Syria to launch many missiles against Israel before the IAF can take them out.

Syria has some 200 Scud B, 60 Scud C and an unknown quantity of North Korean made 700 kilometer range Scud D’s. According to Egozi last February Israeli surveillance noted a Syrian launching of an improved Scud that is more
accurate, can cause greater damage and is more difficult to intercept,
terming it “a reason for great concern.”

According to foreign experts, the chemical weapons heads for the rockets are
stored in another location.

According to Israeli sources, Egozi reports, Syria recently received 100
C802 Chinese anti-ship cruise missiles from Iran.”

Gazprom’s unit signs 160-mln-euro gas refinery deal with Syria

DAMASCUS. April 26 (RIA Novosti)

Gazprom’s construction arm signed a 160-million-euro deal with its Syrian counterpart to build another gas refinery in the country, Russia’s regional development minister said Thursday.
The company, Stroitransgaz, a unit of the Russian energy giant, will build the refinery near the ancient Roman city of Palmyra, 150 miles northeast of Damascus, within two years, Vladimir Yakovlev said after a two-day session of the bilateral cooperation commission.

The commission also signed an automotive traffic agreement and a MoU between Russian and Syrian business associations.

“Syria is ready to sign up to $1 billion in contracts with Russia,” Syria’s Trade and Economy Minister Hosni Lutfi said.

Yakovlev also said the two countries were committed to raising trade to a record $1 billion this year, up 35% from last year’s $630 million.

Economic cooperation between Russia and Syria rocketed after Russia wrote off a large part of Syria’s 13-billion debt.

This will be Stroitransgaz’s third project in Syria, along with a gas refinery near the city of Homs in central Syria to be completed in 2008 and the construction of the Syrian part of the Jordan-Syria-Egypt gas pipeline.
