TERRORISM: Iraqi weapons hidden in Syria

Last saturday, a syrian reporter gave information about hidden Iraqi weapons in Syria.
In a cafe in Paris the reporter gave the Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf' detailed information about the secret storage facilities, including maps with the locations.

Aparantly the US government was also aware of this information, but they kept it silent because of political reasons.

The reporter gave three locations, all of them in the western part of Syria. Both chemical weapons, and parts of rocket systems are hidden in tunnels and factories.

According to the journalist the us government keeps this information silent until they decide to confront Syria.

Origional article (in Dutch)

I was unable to find any english articles about this, hold on...

Excellent find!!! This certainly infers that the US has definite plans to attack Syria.

Very weird, this article was on the FRONT page of the biggest Dutch newspaper, and yet, i am unable to find any information about this on the net...

sorry was caught up in some other things.

Here you go

MSN

Here is an article stating that Syria Denies the claims

Syria Denies having Iraq's Weapons

more info:

The Syrian reporter got the information from a high syrian officer...

well, you could always use a translater such as
dictionary.reference.com...
while the wording is rather rough, it still gives you a good idea of what the article is about.
when translatred, the first paragraph says:
"' mass destruction weapons Iraq in Syrië' The 05-01-2004 Iraqi mass destruction weapons lie possibly hid in Syrië. A banished Syrian journalist says have got the exact locations played on of a high Syrian information officer. The United States would be informed, but the matter quiet wants keep political reasons."

oops. a couple of seconds too late. lol

Yes, but that is an older article.
The detailed(!) information was given to the Dutch news paper only 2 days ago!

It was reported that they were there as far back as april 2003,but to say that he knows where they are exactly is quiet amazing and that the US gov new of this..
