WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) - The White House expressed concern on Wednesday about allegations Syria has transferred long-range Scud missiles to the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah and said it had raised the issue at the highest level.
"We are obviously increasingly concerned about the sophisticated weaponry that … is allegedly being transferred," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters. "We have expressed our concerns to those governments."
Gibbs was responding to a question about a Wall Street Journal report, citing Israeli and U.S. officials, saying that that Syria has transferred Scuds to Hezbollah in a move that threatens to alter the Middle East military balance.
