Dozens dead in Syrian-Iranian chemical weapons experiment.

Uhhhhh...... this could be a problem. Iran has always been a thorn in our side but now the threat level has gone up yet again.

Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in a Jane's Magazine report that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria.

According to the report, the joint Syrian-Iranian team was attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a scud missile when the explosion occurred, spreading lethal chemical agents, including sarin nerve gas and VX gas. The factory was created specifically for the purposes of altering ballistic missiles to carry chemical payloads, the magazine report claimed.

While I have no way of confirming this report, Global Security.org cites Syria as having one of the most advanced chemical weapons programs in the Middle East. If the are partnering with Iran our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is only the beginning.
