CIA confirms Syria deployed chemical and biological weapons in Darfour

The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Syria deployed weapons of mass destruction in Sudan's rebel Darfour province.
The CIA has obtained reliable information that Syria used a range of air bombs and perhaps rockets bearing chemical and biological weapons against African villagers in Darfour, U.S. officials said.

"The U.S. intelligence community has clear evidence that Syrian weapons experts arrived several months ago and tested the operational use of a range of biological and chemical weapons in Darfour," an official said. "The results were devastating."

The officials said Syria used BW and CW in Darfour in June and July. Hundreds of people were killed in the attacks, during which bombs were dropped by parachute from Sudanese Air Force An-24 air transports.

In early 2004, the Sudanese opposition accused Khartoum of using chemical weapons in the fighting in Darfour. But U.S. officials said a Sudanese physician in Darfour reported the first credible evidence of Syrian WMD in the western province on July 30. The physician reported to the government in Khartoum that he was forced to close an entire wing of a local hospital to prevent contamination from those killed by biological and chemical agents.

2. Um,...yeah, sure. Another invasion.

We'll just use that OTHER US army we've been keeping around just for cases like this. You know -- the spare army, the backup.

What? We don't have one of those?

Oh...

As the controversy rages on over how long the United Nations should continue weapons inspections in Iraq, questions are being raised about the United States’ own stockpile of chemical and biological weapons and new clandestine weapons programs. Activists and scientists are calling for weapons inspections in the United States.
