Syrian Explosion shows ties to North Korea and Iran
Posted by in Current Affairs, Iran_, Korea, Middle East, Syria
Recent developments involving Syria, Iran, and North Korea continue to instill deep worries of a soon-to-begin Middle Eastern War with global implications and connections.
According to Jane’s Defense Weekly, an explosion in northern Syria in July, 2007, killed at least 15 Syrian soldiers, as well as many Iranian engineers. The explosion was supposedly caused by an accident involving a chemical warhead as it was loaded onto a Scud missile. North Korea supplies Scud missiles and warheads to Syria, and Iran is a long-time ally of Syria.
