Chemical Weapons of Pakistan

[abdullah]

In World-war I Chemical weapons had been used by GERMANS and FRENCH
likewise, even ADOLF HITLER was that Time little.grade soldier and got
GELBKREUTZ, a Gas blindfolded him, until a jewish Doctor healed him,
by saying its was a NEUROSIS, so Psychopathic.

HITLER did not use these GAS in II WORLD-WAR, but a Gas , Imported
from USA or by Patent for the Concentration-camps all over Germany and
EUROPE.

USA used Biological Weapons , probably Chemicals in NORTH-KOREA during
war with CHINESE about markets and plundering Asia in EMPIRE - war.

Pakistan Chemical Weapons
Like India, Pakistan has numerous munitions systems which could be
used to deliver CW agent, including artillery, aerial bombs, and
missiles. Pakistan has a less-well developed commercial chemical
industry than India, but is expected to eventually have the capability
to produce all precursor chemicals needed to support a chemical
weapons stockpile.

Pakistan's market for industrial chemicals is expanding gradually,
with production of chemicals largely confined to soda ash, caustic
soda, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate, liquid
chlorine, aluminum sulfate, carbon black, acetone and acetic acid.
Although imports account for most of the market, local production is
expected to increase as new plants come on stream. There are over 400
licensed pharmaceutical companies in Pakistan, including 35
multinationals who have over 60 percent of the market share.
Approximately one-third of Pakistan's total consumption of
pharmaceutical is imported. Major suppliers include the United States,
the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Holland and France.

Pakistan has ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention [CWC], and
maintained that it did not have any chemical weapons capabilities to
declare under the Convention. However, according to Indian
intelligence estimates, Pakistan -- dependent on foreign sources of
chemical warfare technology -- has manufactured weapons for blister,
blood, choking and nerve agents. China may be an important supplier of
technology and equipment to Pakistan. It is widely believed in India
that Pakistan used chemical weapons against Indian soldiers in Siachen
in 1987. In 1992 India declared to Pakistan that it did not possess
chemical weapons, and India and Pakistan issued a declaration that
neither side possessed or intended to acquire or use chemical weapons.

In conformity with its declared policy of seeking the complete
elimination of weapons of mass destruction from the South Asian
theatre of tensions, Pakistan participated in the long negotiations
leading to the conclusion of Chemical Weapons Convention. Despite
concerns and reservations regarding certain provisions of the CWC
which were articulated at the time of the Convention's conclusion as
well as subsequently, Pakistan signed the CWC to underscore a
commitment to the objective of the complete elimination, regionally
and globally, of this means of warfare.

The entry into force of the Convention revealed the reality of the
presence of Indian chemical weapons stockpiles and production
facilities designed to be used against Pakistan. This created a
qualitatively new situation for Pakistan and complicated the decision
to ratify the Convention. The rightwing religious/political movement
Jamaat-e-Islami, led by Qazi Hussain Ahmed, held rallies to mobilise
public opinion against CWC ratification. Adding to the controversy
were statements of retired generals such as Hamid Gul and Mirza Aslam
Beg, charged that Pakistan had made a major compromise by signing the
CWC.

Despite these challenges, the Government of Pakistan submited its
instrument of ratification to the CWC on 28 October 1997. The CWC was
neither discussed in the parliament nor brought before the Federal
Cabinet. Although Pakistan does not admit to the manufacture of
chemical weapons, it does use and consume a number of chemicals that
can be utilised for producing chemical arms. If Pakistan had remained
out of the treaty it would have been denied access to such dual-use
chemicals.

Under the CWC Pakistan is obligated to open all its installations for
inspection. At the first stage, the team of UN inspectors visited the
Wah Ordinance Factory on 19 February 1999to assess whether Pakistan is
producing chemical weapons. According to one published report, the
Pakistani government had dismantled the chemical plant in the factory,
the earth was dug up quite deeply after the plant was dismantled, and
it was followed by a leveling of the land.
