France to Make Public Syria Chemical Arms Documents
2013-09-02
[An Nahar] La Belle France will soon declassify secret defense documents detailing Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons in defiance of international conventions, a government source said Sunday.
Will the list include the shipments from Saddam Hussein in 2003?
The comment came after the Journal du Dimanche weekly said French intelligence agents had compiled information showing that some of the weapons had been stockpiled for nearly 30 years.

The arsenal included over 1,000 tonnes of chemical agents, the paper said.

"The citations from the notes are correct," the source said. "The government plans to make public the declassified documents on the Syrian chemical arms program."

According to the Sunday newspaper, the arsenal included Sarin and mustard gas. The secret documents showed that Syrian scientists had also worked to develop a powerful agent that was far more toxic that Sarin.
