THE BEKAA BECKONS

Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in Lebanon? (WorldNetDaily: Geostrategy-Direct, August 15, 2003)

Israeli intelligence has identified what are believed to be Iraqi weapons of mass destruction goods in Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, U.S. officials said.

The Israelis used a spy satellite to photograph several tractor-trailer loads of suspected weapons into the Bekaa Valley, where the Islamist terrorist group is based.

Shipments there began in early January and ended the first week of March.

According to Israeli intelligence, Saddam paid Syrian leader Bashar Assad $35 million to hide the weapons.

One would be even more dubious of this if Bill Gertz, who gets so many National Security stories right, weren't involved in Geostrategy-Direct. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 16, 2003 7:13 AM
