MANAMA, Bahrain (CNN) -- British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw called on Syria Monday to assure the international community it has severed ties with Iraq's former regime and does not possess illegal chemical weapons.
Straw, echoing comments by the U.S. administration, said Damascus needed to show it is cooperating with the coalition's efforts to find Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi fugitives, as well as ease concerns over its own weapons program.

The Bush administration escalated sharp diplomatic warnings to Syria today, accusing Iraq's neighbor of developing chemical weapons, harboring former Iraqi leaders and allowing foreign fighters to enter Iraq to attack U.S. troops.
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, at his morning briefing, said repeatedly that "Syria needs to cooperate." He read from a CIA report to Congress last year that Syria had stockpiles of the nerve agent sarin, that it was "trying to develop more toxic and persistent nerve elements," and that it was "highly probable" that Syria was pursuing biological weapons. Fleischer described the document as "authoritative" and said the charge is "well corroborated."
