U.S. Informs Bonn of Syrian Toxic-Gas Unit
Bonn.--Syria is building a poison gas factory in the western city of Aleppo that could constitute a major threat to Israel's national security, a German magazine reported yesterday.
The weekly Stern said U.S. intelligence officials had passed on satellite photographs of the plant to their German counter-parts, who were checking if any Germans were involved.
In a report released ahead of publication today, Stern said the plant was similar to one in Tarhunah, Libya. The United States says that complex is a chemical weapons factory; Libya says it is an irrigation plant.
