Assad’s biological
weapons absent from US-Russia deal
Time to educate the world about bioweapons,
difference between 1 milligram (1/1000 gm) vs 1 microgram (1/1,000,000
gm). CBRNE Area coverage: High Explosive: 3 drums, 10,000 square meters
-- Chemical: Sarin: 3 drums Sarin, 1200 lbs + explosive 1.2 million
square meters -- Bioagent: 3 drums 450 lbs to explosives 6-20 million
square meters, Q fever: 200 Sq Kilometers. - Stephen M. Apatow,

Syrian
President Bashar Assad has two biological weapons bases, developing
anthrax and other devastating biological agents, and yet
the US-Russia deal aimed at stripping his regime of chemical
weapons makes no provisions for his biological weapons capability,
Israeli TV reported Sunday night. -- Assad’s

Bioweapons Program: Anthrax, Plague, Tularemia, Botulinium, Smallpox,

Older
types of bioweapons using wet agents, and placed in older bomb and
warhead designs with limited dissemination capability, can achieve only
a small fraction of the potential effectiveness of bioweapons. Dry
micropowders using advanced agents such as the most lethal forms of
anthrax can have the effectiveness of small theater nuclear weapons. It
is difficult to design adequate missile warheads to disseminate such
agents, but this is not beyond Syrian capabilities particularly since
much of the technology needed to make effective cluster munitions and
bomblets for VX gas can be adapted to the delivery of bioweapons. - Syrian

Focus on Preemption in Counterterrorism Operations
- Israel takes the security lead in Middle East, Arab countries
dependent on IDF CBRNE WMD containment capabilities for regional
security, intelligence and threat analysis for immediate containment of
threats to the region, call to strengthen coalition in conjunction with
Interpol (NATO) Defense Support. From IDF Pillar of Defense to Global
Pillar of Defense in crisis response. Israel provides

Chemical Weapons Use Videos:
White House releases 13 videos compiled by the U.S. Open Source Center
from videos taken in Damascus, Syria following the use of chemical
weapons on August 21, 2013. These videos were
shown to the Intelligence Committee on Thursday, September 5.

In the United States, efforts to transition
imminent CBRNE WMD terrorist threats and counterterrorism operations
into an international popularity vote, has proved to be a catastrophic
international security failure. Local Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement in
every US county is urged to prepare contingency plans for CBRNE
terrorist attacks.
The defense community
has been completely incapacitated by the UN Security Council, that
bears full responsibility for the Syrian humanitarian and international
security crisis. NATO, IDF and international defense community must
focus on contingencies for post WMD 911 attacks.

Syria
- Global Terrorist Threat Level
At the present time, Shia Islamic
fundamentalists (Iran, Hezbollah) have seized control of the CBRNE WMD
Stockpiles via joint command of the Syrian military complex. The
intelligence community is now focused on how far both chemical and
biological weapons have been transferred across the globe via Hezbollah
(National
Counterterrorism Center).
The immediate Defense:Interpol CBRNE counterterrorism challenge is
proportional to the extent that these weapons have already been
transferred... throughout Middle East, Europe, Russia, Continental
Africa, Central and South America and the United States. It
is clear, if a Chemical or Biotoxin (from Syrian WMD stockpiles)
IED is detonated outside of Syria, the world will move from the horror
of the Damascus Chemical Attack to a crisis responsive lesson on CBRNE
IED Terrorist Attacks, with chemical or biological weapons (the poor
mans nuclear bomb).
Intervention in Syria is not a single
country focus... it encompasses is a global Pillar of Defense -
Interpol:Defense Fusion - Law enforcement the 1st and last line of
defense - 222 Countries. -- Syria:
Iran - Hezbollah - Al Qaeda Counterinsurgency Crisis Spiral:
HRI:H-II OPSEC.
In Summary, the immediate global terrorist
threat is far beyond the
Syrian humanitarian catastrophe and the CBRNE weapons stockpiles that
needed to be 100% contained when the Assad began ethnic cleansing, war
crimes, crimes against humanity and transitioned into a failed state in
2011.
The HRI International
Disaster Information Network has had the advocacy/policy
development lead on this complex emergency since February 2012.
