MOSCOW—The Kremlin criticized the U.S. decision to arm Syrian opposition
fighters and said Washington's evidence that the Syrian regime is using
chemical weapons was unconvincing, but said Friday that Moscow is "not yet"
discussing its plans to deliver of air-defense missiles to the regime.

Exclusive: Secret apartheid-era papers give first official
evidence of Israeli nuclear weapons
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/23/israel-south-africa-nuclear-weapons
Secret South African documents reveal that Israel offered to sell nuclear
warheads to the apartheid regime, providing the first official documentary
evidence of the state's possession of nuclear weapons.
The "top secret" minutes of
meetings between senior officials
from the two countries in 1975
show that South Africa's defence
minister, PW Botha, asked for the
warheads and Shimon Peres, then
Israel's defence minister and now
its president, responded by offering
them "in three sizes". The two men
also signed a broad-ranging agreement
governing military ties between the
two countries that included a clause
declaring that "the very existence of
this agreement" was to remain secret.
The documents, uncovered by an
American academic, Sasha
Polakow-Suransky, in research for
a book on the close relationship
between the two countries, provide
evidence that Israel has nuclear
weapons despite its policy of
"ambiguity" in neither confirming
nor denying their existence.
The Israeli authorities tried to stop
South Africa's post-apartheid
government declassifying the documents
at Polakow-Suransky's request and the
revelations will be an embarrassment,
particularly as this week's nuclear
non-proliferation talks in New York
focus on the Middle East.
They will also undermine Israel's attempts
to suggest that, if it has nuclear weapons,
it is a "responsible" power that would not
misuse them, whereas countries such as
Iran cannot be trusted.
A spokeswoman for Peres today said
the report was baseless and there
were "never any negotiations" between
the two countries. She did not
comment on the authenticity of the
documents.
South African documents show that
the apartheid-era military wanted the
missiles as a deterrent and for potential
strikes against neighbouring states.
The documents show both sides met
on 31 March 1975. Polakow-Suransky
writes in his book published in the US
this week, The Unspoken Alliance:
Israel's secret alliance with apartheid
South Africa.
Among those attending the meeting was the South African
military chief of staff, Lieutenant General RF Armstrong.
He immediately drew up a memo in which he laid
out the benefits of South Africa obtaining the Jericho missiles
but only if they were fitted with nuclear weapons.
The memo, marked "top secret" and dated the same day
as the meeting with the Israelis, has previously been revealed
but its context was not fully understood because it was not
known to be directly linked to the Israeli offer on the same day
and that it was the basis for a direct request to Israel. In it,
Armstrong writes: "In considering the merits of a weapon system
such as the one being offered, certain assumptions have been
made: a) That the missiles will be armed with nuclear warheads
manufactured in RSA (Republic of South Africa) or acquired elsewhere."
But South Africa was years from being able to build atomic weapons. A
little more than two months later, on 4 June, Peres and Botha met in
Zurich. By then the Jericho project had the codename Chalet.
The top secret minutes of the meeting record that: "Minister
Botha expressed interest in a limited number of units of Chalet subject
to the correct payload being available."
The document then records: "Minister Peres said the correct payload was
available in three sizes. Minister Botha expressed his appreciation and
said that he would ask for advice." The "three sizes" are believed to refer
to the conventional, chemical and nuclear weapons.
The use of a euphemism, the
"correct payload", reflects Israeli
sensitivity over the nuclear issue and
would not have been used had it been
referring to conventional weapons.
It can also only have meant nuclear
warheads as Armstrong's memorandum
makes clear South Africa was interested
in the Jericho missiles solely as a means
of delivering nuclear weapons.
In addition, the only payload the South
Africans would have needed to obtain
from Israel was nuclear. The South
Africans were capable of putting
together other warheads.
Botha did not go ahead with the deal in
part because of the cost. In addition,
any deal would have to have had final
approval by Israel's prime minister and
it is uncertain it would have been
forthcoming.
South Africa eventually built its own nuclear bombs, albeit possibly with
Israeli
assistance. But the collaboration on military technology only grew over the
following years. South Africa also provided much of the yellowcake uranium
that Israel required to develop its weapons.
The documents confirm accounts by a former South African naval commander,
Dieter Gerhardt – jailed in 1983 for spying for the Soviet Union. After his
release with the collapse of apartheid, Gerhardt said there was an
agreement between Israel and South Africa called Chalet which involved
an offer by the Jewish state to arm eight Jericho missiles with
"special warheads". Gerhardt said these were atomic bombs. But until now
there has been no documentary evidence of the offer.
Some weeks before Peres made his offer of nuclear warheads to Botha, the
two defence ministers signed a covert agreement governing the military
alliance known as Secment. It was so secret that it included a denial of
its own existence:
"It is hereby expressly agreed that the very existence of this agreement...
shall be secret and shall not be disclosed by either party".
The agreement also said that neither party could unilaterally renounce it.
The existence of Israel's nuclear
weapons programme was revealed
by Mordechai Vanunu to the Sunday
Times in 1986. He provided
photographs taken inside the
Dimona nuclear site and gave
detailed descriptions of the
processes involved in producing
part of the nuclear material but
provided no written documentation.
Documents seized by Iranian students from the US embassy in Tehran after
the 1979 revolution revealed the Shah expressed an interest to Israel in
developing nuclear arms. But the South African documents offer confirmation
Israel was in a position to arm Jericho missiles with nuclear warheads.
Israel pressured the present South African government not to declassify
documents obtained by Polakow-Suransky. "The Israeli defence ministry
tried to block my access to the Secment agreement on the grounds it was
sensitive material, especially the signature and the date," he said. "
The South Africans didn't seem to care; they blacked out a few lines and
handed it over to me. The ANC government is not so worried about protecting
the dirty laundry of the apartheid regime's old allies."

President Barack Obama on Thursday authorized the U.S. to arm fighters
against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, reversing a policy of
giving only nonlethal support to the country's opposition in the
two-year-old civil war. The White House cited confirmation that Mr. Assad's
regime had killed up to 150 people with chemical weapons as the reason for
its about-face.

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday that Britain hadn't yet
decided to supply arms to the rebels alongside the U.S., but welcomed
Washington's assessment of Syrian weapons use. The U.K. and France were
instrumental in ending a European Union arms embargo on Syria, paving the
way for increased European assistance to rebel forces.
Mr. Cameron was due to discuss the situation in Syria with Mr. Obama later
Friday, a spokesman said. French officials are expected to meet over the
weekend with Gen. Salim Idris, who commands the coalition of moderate rebel
forces, to discuss future aid including possible arms supplies, according to
a French official.

The U.S. move comes ahead of a meeting between Mr. Obama and Russian
President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G-8 summit in Northern
Ireland that starts on Monday. Syria will be at the top of the agenda for
the sidelines meeting.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday that he opposed the U.S.
decision to send arms. "There is no such military solution. Only a political
solution can address this issue sustainably; therefore, [increasing] the
flow of arms to either side would not be helpful," he said.
Mr. Ban also emphasized the need for Syria to allow an on-the-ground
investigation to "establish the facts."

.
The Syrian government on Friday dismissed U.S. charges that it used chemical
weapons as "full of lies," accusing Mr. Obama of resorting to fabrications
to justify his decision to arm Syrian rebels, the AP reported.
Officials from Russia, which along with Iran is Mr. Assad's most prominent
foreign ally, said the evidence on chemical weapons isn't rock solid.
"We had a meeting with American representatives in which Americans tried to
present information to us about the regime's use of chemical weapons, but
frankly speaking, the evidence Americans set out looks unconvincing," Yuri
Ushakov, the Kremlin's top foreign-policy aide, said Friday, according to
Russian news agencies.
Mr. Ushakov cited the flawed intelligence assessment from the administration
of former President George W. Bush about weapons of mass destruction in the
run-up to the Iraq war but said he didn't want to "draw any parallels."
Other Russian officials were more direct. "The data on Assad's use of
chemical weapons is fabricated just like the lies about weapons of [Saddam]
Hussein's weapons of mass destruction," read a tweet on the feed of Alexei
Pushkov, chairman of the Russian parliament's international relations
committee. "Obama is going down the path of G. Bush."
The Kremlin opposes any international action against its longtime client,
Mr. Assad. Russian officials have said they plan to fulfill a 2010 contract
for the S-300 missiles as a way to deter potential outside military
intervention in the Syrian civil war. Western powers and Israel have opposed
the sale of the system.
Both Moscow and the U.S. are pushing the warring sides in Syria to enter
peace talks in the coming months.
But opposition forces have appealed for more weapons and support in recent
weeks as they've lost ground against Mr. Assad's troops and their allies
from the Iranian-backed Lebanese organization Hezbollah.
The U.S. conclusion that Mr. Assad's regime has wielded chemical weapons was
based on physical samples taken from Syria, said Ben Rhodes, the White House
Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
He said the U.S. relied on "multiple, independent streams of information"
and has "high confidence" in the assessment. He cited four dates and
locations at which the U.S. believes Mr. Assad's regime employed chemical
weapons.
Mr. Ushakov, who long served as the Russian ambassador to the U.S., said any
extension of the White House's support for Syria's opposition fighters won't
help a joint effort by the U.S. and Russia to bring the bloody conflict's
opposing sides to the negotiating table.
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the
move suggests U.S. efforts to bring the opposition to the peace talks had
stalled. He said pumping arms into Syria will increase "the level of armed
confrontation and violence against civilians" and reiterated Russia's
commitment to a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
U.S. officials have stressed that Mr. Assad, backed by Hezbollah, has been
making gains more than two years into a violent conflict that has left more
than 93,000 people dead, according to United Nations figures. But before
Thursday, the U.S. didn't agree to provide weapons to the opposition, citing
concerns that new arms could wind up in the hands of extremists and might
not change the balance on the ground, as well as uncertainty about reports
of the regime's use of chemical weapons.

Some U.K. lawmakers have voiced similar concerns, complicating any British
efforts to arm rebels.
"What is clear today is that…in our world today there is a brutal dictator
who is using chemical weapons under our nose in a conflict where almost a
100,000 people have already died—and what is important is that we work with
our partners to do what we can to bring this to an end," Mr. Cameron said
Friday.
The Syrian regime is a longtime Kremlin ally dating back to the days of the
Cold War. Mr. Putin has opposed outside military intervention in the Syrian
conflict, and Russia has joined China in vetoing three U.N. resolutions that
were aimed at forcing Mr. Assad to step down.
Mr. Ushakov stressed that the U.S. and Russia aren't "competing on Syria,"
and are trying to find a constructive way to solve the problem in the
region.
Syria's government signed a contract in 2010 to buy four S-300 batteries
with 144 missiles for $900 million, and the first deliveries were scheduled
to start this summer. The weapons could change the power dynamic in the
Middle East and help the Assad regime prevent the sort of military campaign
Western governments organized to aid rebels fighting Col. Moammar Gadhafi in
Libya.
