Panama Rejects U.S. Plan to Clean Up Abandoned Weapons Panama has rejected a U.S. plan to clean up abandoned chemical weapons on San Jose Island off the country’s coast, Xinhua News Agency reported today (see GSN, May 28, 2002). Last month, the United States agreed to provide Panama with $2 million, equipment and training to remove the weapons. Panama rejected the U.S. proposal, however, because Washington would not admit its responsibility in polluting the island, according to Panamanian Ambassador to the United States Roberto Alfaro. “The United States wanted to be freed from every responsibility, but that Panama could not accept,” Alfaro said (Xinhua News Agency, Sept. 19).
