Washington - US President George W Bush said on Sunday that Syria has chemical weapons, and warned Damascus anew that it "must co-operate" with Washington as it continues its effort to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.

"We believe there are chemical weapons in Syria," he told journalists outside the White House.

"Each situation will require a different response," he said in reply to reporters' questions about US allegations that Syria is aiding the Iraqi regime.

"First things first. We're here in Iraq now," Bush said, adding that "we expect co-operation" from Syria. - Sapa-AFP
