 <title>Did Saddam send his WMD&#039;s to Sinochem in the PRC?, </title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/did_saddam_send_his_wmds_to_sinochem_in_the_prc_0</link>
 <description>The above question is a logical one considering both what we know and what we do not know!

What we know-
1) The PRC was the leading supplier of weapons to Saddam.
2)China National Chemical Import &amp;amp; Export Corporation
(Sinochem) a formerly state owned firm is the PRC&#039;s
largest chemical supplier and trading company.
3)We have documentary evidence proving that Sinochem
was trying to collect a US$4.2 Billion pre-Gulf War debt
from Saddam.
4) The Sinochem joint-venture&#039;s, Sinohawk (Overseas) Ltd.,
managing director told me in 1996 that Sinochem had supplied Saddam with the material that caused Gulf War
Syndrome.
5) We know that a Sinochem Director denied that the joint-
venture, Sinohawk, ever existed, even though we have evidence to the contrary and two U.S. judges found that it
does.
6) The PRC&#039;s Embassy in Baghdad was kept open throughout the Gulf War and the Asian Wall Street Journal
Stated that the Saddam/ Sinochem trade continued well
after the war&#039;s end.

What we do not know-
1) What exactly did Saddam buy from Sinochem/PRC
for US$4.2 Billion?
2) Why is Sinochem offering no explanation of the details
of their trade with Saddam?
3)Did Saddam send or return WMD&#039;s to Sinochem/PRC
in lieu of debt repayment?
and
4)Is there too much pressure on the media for an in-depth
investigation to take place?
