Say, remember this post from the summer?
Doing the IDF’s work for them: 15 Syrian soldiers are dead in a blast that is attributed to the heat.
“There is a heat wave and temperatures reached close to 50 degrees, which caused an ammunition dump to explode,” one official told Reuters.
Uh-huh. Works for me, because a nation with desert temps in the summertime wouldn’t prepare their ordnance containers for, say, high periods of heat. Noteworthy facts: It occurred in a complex housing Syrian special forces teams. Say, anyone think maybe Iranian weaponry had anything to do with it?
When I’m right, I’m right.
Dozens of Syrian military officers and Iranian engineers were killed about two months ago in an a chemical weapons accident, Jane’s Magazine reported Monday, revealing new details on the incident which took place in a secret weapons facility.
According to the report by the British magazine, the explosion occurred early in the morning on July 26, in a factory in the city of Halab, as the officers were attempting to mount a chemical warhead with mustard gas on a Scud-C missile.
A fire which started in the missile’s engine led to an explosion near a storage location of chemical substances. The blast spread lethal chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX gas and sarin nerve gas, which are considered extremely toxic and are banned for use according to international treaties.
Jane’s Magazine reports that the explosion killed 15 Syrian officers and dozens of Iranian engineers who were in the facility. Dozens of people were injured.
The incident was reported at the time by Syria’s official news agency, but the report only included information on the Syrian casualties and did not mention the Iranian representatives.
This makes the raid on Syria even more meaningful now, doesn’t it? And gee. It’s so nice to know that Ehud Olmert respects the man who is loading sarin and mustard gas on warheads aimed at Israel.
Arab ingenuity gone bad !!
I’m sorry Merryl but you’ve got it all wrong. Syria and Iran were working on a project to cook food for the world’s poor and starving.
They are developing a technology to send meals express via scud missiles. This will allow them to feed the world’s poor quickly and efficently.
It was a simple case of their pressure cookers exploding when too many beans were added.
Now if they had Nuclear energy to help them cook meals for the world’s starving then they would be able to do so much more.
Iran and Syria are working on many projects to save the world’s poor from starvation.
The religion of peace strikes again.
Mr. Bagel, you are so right – they have glommed onto a secret that has eluded so many in the west: dead people don’t starve!
I wonder how many of those gas cylinders began life as Iraqi WMDs that supposedly never existed.
You know, Mr. Bagel, I haven’t linked to you at all lately. I will have to change that. Folks who’ve never been to your site are missing a great deal.
