Syrian chemical weapons on the move: Curveball is back

""The source was speaking from an Arab country outside Syria where he has taken refuge. The conversation was arranged by the Syrian Support Group, an organization in Washington that speaks for moderate elements of the opposition Free Syrian Army. This information comes with a caveat: The Syrian sources want to alert the United States to dangers there partly in the hope of encouraging greater American involvement with the opposition. For some historical context, readers should recall the Iraqi defector known as "Curveball," who made allegations about Iraqi chemical weapons a decade ago that bolstered the case for war — but turned out to be fabrications." "According to the defector's account, two senior Syrian officers moved about 100 kilograms of chemical weapons materials from a secret military base in January." "The Syrian source also described construction of special trucks, which could transport and mix the weapons, at a workshop in the Damascus suburb of Dummar. This workshop was part of a network of secret research facilities known in Arabic as the "Bohous," the source said."" (thanks Amir)
