BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhuanet) -- The Syrian government on Monday said it would only use its chemical and biological weapons in case of a foreign attack. Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi vowed, however, that Damascus would not use its unconventional arms against its own citizens.
Jihad Makdissi, spokesman of Syrian Foreign Ministry, said, "Any stocks of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) or any unconventional weapon that the Syrian Arab Republic possesses would never be used against civilians or against the Syrian people during this crisis, under any circumstances, no matter how the crisis would evolve, no matter how. So this is the title. All the stocks of these weapons that the Syrian Arab Republic possesses are monitored and guarded by the Syrian Army. These weapons are meant to be used only and strictly in the event of external aggression against the Syrian Arab Republic."
