Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction – Numbers

by Pol D'Huyvetter  - Thursday, February 20 2003

Hi,

with credit to http://www.stopwar.org.uk/ 

I believe we should get following information about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) published very widely. The corporate media will not (yet) give attention to it, therefore let have it on as many websites and newsletters as possible.

It is clear we do not only need inspections in Iraq but also in many other places ... and of course: global disarmament. I was struck by the absence of this element in any of the negotiations within the European Council, when we met last Monday with a representative of the office of Xavier Solana and a spokesperson of the Greek Presidency of the EU. There is still lots of work ahead of us.

 10,600
   8,400
     400-450
     288
     200
     200
      48
      30-35
        0??

Does anyone have numbers for biological and chemical weapons?

From European perspective, let us remind you that members of parliament aswell as journalists, NGO's and common people do not have access to any information about the illegal deployment of an estimated 150 US B-61 WMD in Belgium, Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey.

 Thanks,
