ASSAD CAN KEEP BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS

White House press secretary Jay Carney demurred when asked about the place of biological weapons in the negotiations.

 

"What is obviously directly of concern here was the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime," he told reporters Wednesday. "But I think that's a question that's worth following up on."

 

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, pressed Kerry to include Assad's biological weapons in the disarmament agreement negotiated in Geneva, Switzerland, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

 

“Assad’s bioweapons, either in his hands or the hands of terrorists, represent a direct security threat to the U.S. and our allies," Cornyn wrote in a Friday letter. “Any credible agreement must force the surrender of both Assad’s bioweapons and chemical weapons, and it must achieve their destruction in a way that is workable, effective, timely, and verifiable.”
