U.S. has no evidence Iraq hid WMDs in Syria

By Reuters

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said on Friday it had no evidence that any of Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction had been hidden in neighboring Syria.

In an interview with WTVT-TV in Tampa, Florida, White
House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice defended prewar intelligence on Iraq that Washington used to justify the invasion. Despite U.S. assertions that Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological arms, none has been found.

"The American people can be certain that we went
to war on solid information, on information
that had been gathered over 12 years, on a history of use of weapons of mass destruction, and that we are finding confirmation that this was somebody who hid his activities from the United Nations and intended to continue those programs," Rice said.

A U.S. team hunting for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was investigating multiple reports from Iraqis that banned weapons or weapons-related substances were moved across borders into Syria, Iran, and Jordan.

"I've seen reports, as everyone has," Rice said. But she added: "We don't have any evidence at this point that that's what happened."

Washington has accused Damascus of turning a blind eye to militants crossing into Iraq. Syria has long been on the U.S. State Department's list of states that support terrorism, and Washington accuses it of seeking weapons of mass destruction.
