MESOP : THE DIPLOMATIC “DIALOGUE PARTNER”ACTS AS A WAR CRIMINAL Human Rights Watch: Syria regime barrel bombing civilians
Waar, Duhok: 25 Feb 2015 – The Syrian regime has carried out hundreds of air attacks that have killed thousands of civilians in the past year, a U.S. rights group said Tuesday.Regime forces have indiscriminately deployed high explosive air-delivered munitions, including barrel bombs, on civilians in defiance of a UN Security Council resolution ordering an end to the use of these weapons, Human Rights Watch said in a damning report. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claimed in an interview earlier in February that his forces were not using barrel bombs despite evidence to the contrary. Barrel bombs are made from oil drums filled with high explosives and shrapnel to enhance fragmentation, and then dropped from helicopters. Cheaply made and locally produced, they are more destructive than conventional bombs.

WEST KURDISTAN (SYRIA) – Much Ado at the Qusayr Site? A Syrian Nuclear Snapshot
INSS Insight No. 666, February 23, 2015 – Ephraim Asculai , Emily B. Landau Ephraim Asculai, Emily B. Landau
On January 9, 2015, the German weekly Der Spiegel published an article alleging that Syria did not give up its nuclear weapons development ambitions following the destruction in 2007 of its almost completed, North Korean-constructed nuclear reactor near the town of Deir-al-Zor. Instead, according to Der Spiegel, it is in the process of erecting a new nuclear facility near the town of Qusayr, very close to Syria’s border with Lebanon. Syria has a long history of deception and lying to the international community on matters concerning its development and use of weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, any new information concerning these matters, even if highly speculative, should set the scene for further investigations, which in the past have revealed problematic Syrian intentions and activities in the chemical and nuclear realms.
