Stalins Organ Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I got this from a 3rd party this morning & have no way of checking, but Jane's is usually pretty reliable, and it has to be bad news for all and sundry if true! (bah - it's one post - for some reason the board insists on inserting a seperate quote for the 2nd para) Janes Defence Weekly says that according to a Hamas spokesman, the smugglers convoy blown up by an Israeli airstrike on the Sudanese border contained a large number of Russian Igla SA-16 and SA-18, Iranian Misagh 2 and a few early Stinger manpad SAMs. Lebanese sources have told Janes that the Iranians have offered to supply Hezbullah with mustard gas, VX and Sarin warhead rockets. The names of the officials organising this were also passed on, and include senior members of Syrian intelligence and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. If the offer is accepted, the weapons will be supplied from the Syrian facility in Aleppo where dozens of Syrian engineers and 15 Iranian officers were killed when a Scud-C with a chemical warhead blew up in July 2007. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Oh come on, everybody knows a nation-state would never give terrorists WMDs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 And never would Lebanese sources have an axe to grind with the Syrians. Heaven forbid that a nation has actions attributed to it so that the US feels it has to go to war. That would never happen! Remember fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 and how many countries doing something about it would it take? Of course if they actually used it then I suggest it'd be "all bets are off" time.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well I heard from a friend's neighbour's godfather's namesake that Komsomolskaya Pravda had heard from Vatican officials that the sky is going to fall on us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
