By HARRY DUNPHY, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Syria is allowing militants to cross its border into Iraq (news - web sites) to kill U.S. soldiers and is aggressively seeking to acquire and develop chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, a senior Bush administration official said Tuesday.
In addition, he said Syria continues to support organizations the United States lists as terrorist groups.
John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control, told a House hearing the United States was trying to change Syria’s behavior through diplomatic means and urged lawmakers to let the effort run its course before passing trade restrictions and other measures.
After testifying to the House International Relations Committee’s panel on the Middle East and Central Asia, Bolton left for Moscow, where he is to talk with the Russians about proliferation of nuclear technology in Iran, State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said

Could this news be the starting point of bombing of Syria?
