no long news article here, but just watched T.V. and they found a stash of missiles with Mustard poison in the warheads. Bonus: Saddams cousin "chemical Ali" was found dead.
here's the knowledge you seeeeeeek...... Report: U.S. Finds Missiles with Chemical Weapons 1 hour, 23 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces near Baghdad found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons, the U.S. news station National Public Radio reported on Monday. Latest news: · U.S. Say It May Have Found Iraqi WMD Storage Site Reuters - 5 minutes ago · Iraqi TV Shows Saddam Meeting Son, Officials Reuters - 6 minutes ago · U.S. Surrounds Key Buildings in Baghdad AP - 8 minutes ago Special Coverage NPR, which attributed the report to a top official with the 1st Marine Division, said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were "ready to fire." It quoted the source as saying new U.S. intelligence data showed the chemicals were "not just trace elements." It said the cache was discovered by Marines with the 101st Airborne Division, which was following up behind the Army after it seized Baghdad's international airport. U.S. Central Command headquarters in Qatar had no immediate comment. The United States and Britain launched the war against Iraq (news - web sites) to rid the country of weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies having such weapons.
It's still in preliminary testing but it won't surprise me that it's the smoking gun.I believe as more Iraqis stop living in fear we will be directed to more incriminating evidence.
I haven't seen the report about missles yet, but CNN is reporting the 101st found two bunkers hidden under a pesticide warehouse at an agricultural site outside Karbala. The bunkers contain 10 25 gallon drums of nerve agents Sarin and Tabun and 2 55 gallon drums of a blister agent. CNN has a 101st general live on camera talking about finding the camoflaged bunkers 3 days ago, but waiting to announce the contents because the army was testing the chemicals because they were in unmarked drums. The CNN reporter was embedded with the company that found the bunkers initially, but couldn't report the find until cleared by the army. This find is non weaponized WMD, which means the chemicals are still in storage drums and not mounted on weapons. The army says the chemicals have gone through three stages of testing, and that samples will be sent back to the US for detailed analysis. The 101st has turned the site over to the 63rd Chemical company for handling and decontamination.
