Syria agrees to hide Iran nukes

LONDON — Syria has signed a pledge to store Iranian nuclear weapons and
missiles.
The London-based Jane's Defence Weekly reported that Iran and Syria
signed a strategic accord meant to protect either country from
international pressure regarding their weapons programs. The magazine,
citing diplomatic sources, said Syria agreed to store Iranian materials
and weapons should Teheran come under United Nations sanctions.
Iran also pledged to grant haven to any Syrian intelligence officer
indicted by the UN or Lebanon. Five Syrian officers have been
questioned by the UN regarding the Hariri assassination, Middle East
Newsline reported.
“The sensitive chapter in the accord includes Syria's commitment to
allow Iran to safely store weapons, sensitive equipment or even
hazardous materials on Syrian soil should Iran need such help in a time
of crisis,” Jane's said
