Defected Syrian General: Assad Will Never Give Up Chemical Stockpile
(CNN) Mick Krever - Defected Syrian Brig.-Gen. Zaher al-Sakat told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday that Bashar al-Assad will never give up his chemical stockpile. "The locations of most of the scientific research centers in Syria and the storage facilities are known and under surveillance, thus, he will give up those centers and facilities for sure without lying. That said however, Bashar al-Assad will not give up the chemical stockpile." He said that in addition to four secret locations within Syria, the regime is currently transferring chemical weapons to Iraq and Lebanon.
