It seems more WMD has surfaced in Iraq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We were mortified by the information that terrorists were looking for these warheads and offered $5,000 apiece,” Dukaczewski said. “An attack with such weapons would be hard to imagine. All of our activity was accelerated at appropriating these warheads.”<\/p>\n

Dukaczewski refused to give any further details about the terrorists or the sellers of the munitions, saying only that his troops thwarted terrorists by purchasing the 17 rockets for a Soviet-era launcher and two mortar rounds containing the nerve agent for an undisclosed sum June 23.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s a lot of scary aspects to this story. First, these were almost in terrorist hands, so what do they already have? Second, I see no way that we will ever be able to account for all of Iraq’s WMD, leaving us to never have a good knowledge of the scope of the danger we face. Third, the left still refuses to acknowledge the existence of WMD.<\/p>\n

The warheads all contained cyclosarin, multinational force commander Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek said.<\/p>\n

“Laboratory tests showed the presence in them of cyclosarin, a very toxic gas, five times stronger than sarin and five times more durable,” Bieniek told Poland’s TVN24 at the force’s Camp Babylon headquarters.<\/p>\n

“If these warheads, which were still usable, were used on a military base like Camp Babylon, they would have caused unforeseeable damage.”<\/p>\n

The tests were done by U.S. experts, who were conducting more.<\/p>\n

The munitions were found in a bunker in the Polish sector, but Polish officials refused to be more specific.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
