Syria
Chemical weapons????
Damascus appeared to maintain its longstanding ban on attacks launched from Syrian territory or against Western targets
In the wake of Sept. 11, Syria cooperated with the CIA in passing on information on Islamist radicals suspected of having connections with the Al Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden. Damascus has little sympathy for Islamist militants, perceiving them as a potential threat to the secular regime. Many Islamist radicals arrested in Europe and the US after the Sept. 11 attacks are believed to have been identified from information provided by Damascus.
Syria supports a lot of anti-Israel terrorism, but has a history of crushing Al Qaeda types.
Wouldn't they now be Syria's WMD?
