Heikal: All Arab Countries Have Chemical, Biological Weapons; Nazi Scientists Helped Produce Them

Senior Egyptian Journalist Mohamed Hassanein Heikal on CBC TV (Egypt), September 9, 2013:


Muhammad Hassanein Heikal: In the 1950s and 1960s, attempts to end the nuclear arms race began. Countries that already had nuclear arms decided to make do with what they had, and all the other countries, which found it too difficult to join the nuclear arms race, believed that the production of chemical and biological weapons was the poor man's way to deter the nuclear countries. This was especially true with regard to the Arab world. Not a single Arab country refrained from producing chemical and biological weapons.
