9. Syria
Points – 10
As if things in Syria weren’t complicated enough, they also have chemical and biological weapons in its arsenal, some of which they’ve been accused of using during the confrontations going on in the country.
Officials have skirted around the issue, but allegations point to Syria undertaking activities that were banned and even kept up its efforts to develop a biological deterrent which can be delivered via cruise missiles, fighter aircraft, helicopters and more. Victims of the civil conflict have accused officials of also using chemical weapons with sources indicating some 1,500 deaths in chemical attacks. Reports indicate that sarin nerve gas, a highly toxic chemical warfare agent that’s been banned by international law was to blame for the deaths.
