War & politics: Sept 11th, bin Laden, Middle East news, from my own perspective.
DEBKAfile, Political Analysis, Espionage, Terrorism Security
I've followed DEBKAfile for over a year. A lot of the background is very detailed, some of the predictions are a little off, but on the whole I trust them, at least with the stuff I blog.
Israel elevates first-aid Magen David alert for possible chemical attack.
They're getting jumpy, and have been for some time, but this is an increase on that.
US defense secretary warns Syrian action in sending military equipment to Iraq is seen as hostile act and Syria may be viewed as combatant. Rumsfeld also warns Iran against interfering in war in Iraq.
Syria, one of the 'Axis of Evil,' though he's the most Westernised, Assad's rule is closer to the religious fanatices than you'd imagine. With a chemical and bio plan of their own. It's thought that Hezbollah has chemical shells but Israeli's nukes, and the will to use them, scare the shit out them. But if they can get one in, they surely would.
DEBKAfile reports from US intelligence sources that Iraq has moved chemical and biological weapons to within missile-striking distance of Israel in western Iraq despite US-UK presence in region. Some of the WMD was taken out of hiding-places in Syria.
It's been thought for sometime, that those transportable chemical factories and weapons, have been taken over borders, both Syria and Iran when the weapons inspectors were about to come in. Of course, Syria and Iran's Government, would have denied it.
Thursday several hundred Lebanese Hizballah headed across Syrian-Iraqi border to join Syrian-sponsored Palestinian volunteer movement for Saddam's army.
This ties in with the story they reported and I blogged a few days ago about the Syrian bus bombed by US F-15.
DEBKAfile military sources: US forces approaching Baghdad face WMD threat once across Tigris River -- Saddam's signal to loose chemical, biological and possibly nuclear weapons.
I have no idea why DEBKAfile keeps going on about Iraqi nukes. Maybe they mean dirty bombs?
