Syrian weapons complex explosion missed its weapons of mass destruction
A huge explosion in a Syrian weapons complex was said to have spared the nation's missile and weapons of mass destruction production line. Western intelligence sources said a blast that destroyed a huge building and damaged several others in a military industrial complex south of Homs was believed to have left the strategic weapons production line unaffected. They said the assessment is that a conventional weapons factory was destroyed. "We are talking about a huge complex that covers many miles," a U.S. intelligence analyst said. "The building that we saw destroyed did not turn out to be in the area where we assess is the production of ballistic missiles or WMD."Godammit. We missed. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-05-06 |
