Yellow Box: Story of The Syrian Chemical Programme From Establishment to Handover

Zaman Al Wasl reveals in a new documentary the inner circle of the Syrian regime's chemical facilities.

A data-rich report highlights the Chemical programme since its birth by the Soviet Union and how the Israelis were following up the developing process through its spies.

The Yellow Box documentary shows how the U.S. underestimated the Syrian chemical arsenal that later claimed lives of almost 2000 people in Eastern Ghouta in August 2013.

Is the Lebanese Hezbollah militia involved in the Eastern Ghouta Massacre? another question Zaman al-Wasl tries to answer in the three-part documentary.

It’s been four years since the Syrian chemical attack on the embattled Eastern Ghouta suburbs near the capital that claimed lives of 1,400 people, mostly women and children.

They joined the convoy of martyrs which has continued to grow since Bashar Assad announced its war against the people who wanted to live in a country respects their rights in freedom of speech, equality and dignity.

Since August 21, 2013, the term CHEMICAL has entered everyday Syrian life, searches, questions and death as that was not the last attack of its kind, the same as it was not the first.

Zaman al-Wasl obtained set of studies prepared by group of researchers in the Syrian Center for Scientific Study and Research which explain the establishment of the chemical weapons programme and its development.

The studies indicate that the Soviet chemical technology was transferred to Syrians through coordination between the KBG and the Air Force Intelligence. The studies explain in detail the formation of units from centers, laboratories, experimental fields as well as identifying the types of chemical weapons manufactured and imported among other technical details. These details bring clarity to a complicated issue. Zaman al-Wasl TV has produced a documentary of three parts about this issue with the first presenting the Soviet relationship to the Syrian chemical weapons program as well as the story behind the liquidation of a large number of the scientists and officers involved in the programme.
