Titolo: Syria 'may be able to produce biological weapons'

un chiaro esempio di come negli USA si viva con schizofrenia la politica 
estera, dall'accordo USA-Russia teso al 'volemose bbene' che sta 
producendo sostanzialmente il nulla a Ginevra come ci si aspettava ai 
tentativi di alcuni apparati istituzionali di fare invece qualcosa di 
concreto

Syria 'may be able to produce biological weapons'
Syria's biological warfare programme may be capable of limited agent 
production, US director of national intelligence warns
 
By AFP 5:55PM GMT 29 Jan 2014
President Bashar al-Assad has developed Syria’s biological weapons 
programme and may now have the capability to produce lethal agents, the 
US intelligence chief warned senators on Wednesday.
The written statement by James Clapper, the director of national 
intelligence, to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is the first 
assertion by American spy agencies that Syria may have made significant 
strides in biological warfare.
“We judge that some elements of Syria’s biological warfare programme 
might have advanced beyond the research and development stage and might 
be capable of limited agent production, based on the duration of its 
longstanding programme,” said Mr Clapper.
Syria’s chemical weapons cache - the largest in the Middle East - is 
being dismantled under a US-Russian deal, following a chemical attack 
last year in Damascus that is estimated to have killed more than one 
thousand people.
Little has been said however, about the threat of biological agents.
 
Hafez al-Assad, the former Syrian president and father of Bashar, 
activated a research programme into biological weapons in the 1980s.
While Syria not thought to have stockpiled biological agents, advances 
made through research means they may now be able to use existing 
viruses, such as variant strains of small pox, to create them.
What is more, Mr Clapper warned, the regime could use its massive 
arsenal of artillery to deploy the weapons: “To the best of our 
knowledge, Syria has not successfully weaponised biological agents in an 
effective delivery system, but it possesses conventional weapon systems 
that could be modified for biological-agent delivery,” he said.
The Syrian government has manipulated its weapons arsenal throughout the 
civil war for lethal effect. For the past year it has used “barrel 
bombs” - metal tubs filled with TNT, nails and other shreds of metal - 
which, when dropped from helicopters have a devastating blast range.
Thirteen people, including a woman and child, died on Wednesday when the 
bombs were dropped on the residential areas of the northern city of 
Aleppo, where the Syrian regime is pressing its assault, local sources 
reported.
