Asbar was not among them, perhaps because he was associated with Syria's missile program rather than the development of chemical weapons.

Israeli sources are reporting that the country's intelligence suspected Azbar of leading a classified weapons development programme called Sector 4 at the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, and was busy re-building an underground weapons factory to replace the one said to have been destroyed by Israel a year ago.

According to the Times, Esber "was said to have free access to the presidential palace in Damascus and had been collaborating with Maj".

'I can say that assuming the details of this man's activities are correct and he was engaged in developing chemical weapons and longer-range missiles capable of hitting Israel, I certainly welcome his demise'.
