U.S. demands Syria give up Iraq's weapons of mass destruction: Rumsfeld, Rice urge quick action
Tuesday, April 15, 2003
The United States has demanded that the regime of President Bashar Assad surrender Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
U.S. officials said the Bush administration has been examining a range of sanctions to pressure Damascus to surrender Iraqi WMD assets and scientists. They said the flight of Iraqi biological and nuclear components and scientists from Iraq could turn Syria into the next WMD threat to the United States and its allies in the Middle East and southern Europe.
Officials said Bush has been urged by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to move quickly against Damascus.
