CNN.com - Syria denies hiding Iraq's WMDs


An article in London's Sunday Telegraph quoted David Kay, the outgoing leader of a U.S. weapons search team in Iraq, as saying that part of Iraq's secret weapons program had been hidden in Syria.
But in an interview aired later Sunday on National Public Radio, Kay said it is difficult to determine whether shipments to Syria included weapons, in part because Syria has refused to cooperate in this part of the weapons investigation.
In brief comments to reporters, Syrian Information Minister Ahmad Hassan called the Telegraph report "baseless and misleading."
