News > Syrian WMDs in Sudan

Latest development via InstaPundit:

Arab diplomatic and Sudanese government sources said the regime of Sudanese President Omar Bashir has ordered that Syria remove its Scud C and Scud D medium-range ballistic missiles as well as components for chemical weapons stored in warehouses in Khartoum. The sources said the Sudanese demand was issued after the Defense Ministry and Interior Ministry confirmed a report published earlier this month that Syria has been secretly flying Scud-class missiles and WMD components to Khartoum.

It's long been alleged that Iraq hid its WMD in Syria. That's credible, since during the first Gulf War Saddam sent his fighter jets to Iran to keep allied forces from destroying them. Now Syrian WMDs - including Scud missiles and chemical weapons components - are being expelled from Sudan. Along with Iran and Libya's nuclear programs, color this another success for the Bush doctrine.
