Kay says some Iraq weapons in Syria: report

Part of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's secret weapons program was transferred from Iraq to neighbouring Syria, and their status has yet to be resolved, Dr David Kay, the just-resigned head of the Iraq Survey Group, was quoted Sunday as telling a British newspaper.

In what it called an exclusive interview, the Sunday Telegraph said it was told by Dr Kay that he had uncovered evidence that unspecified materials had been moved to Syria shortly before the start of the Iraq war in March last year.

"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," Dr Kay was quoted as saying.

"But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD [weapons of mass destruction] programs," he said.

"Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved."

Dr Kay stepped down Friday as leader of the Iraq Survey Group, which 10 months after the US and British invasion of Iraq has yet to find any of Saddam's feared weapons of mass destruction.

US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Saturday it was "open question" as to whether Iraq still had such weapons, but he argued that pre-war intelligence was correct about Saddam's intention to develop them.
