There are NO WMD’s in Iraq, said every leftist in the Nation, but wait…What’s this? ISIS has siezed Saddam’s Chem Weapons Compound?
ISIS terrorists have seized Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons stockpile at the Al Muthanna facility.
The weapons include: mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun and VX.
Chemical weapons produced at the Al Muthanna facility, which Isis today seized, are believed to have included mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun, and VX.
Quote Stockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers.
Although declared, the bunkers contents have yet to be confirmed.
These areas of the compound pose a hazard to civilians and potential blackmarketers.
Numerous bunkers, including eleven cruciform shaped bunkers were exploited. Some of the bunkers were empty. Some of the bunkers contained large quantities of unfilled chemical munitions, conventional munitions, one-ton shipping containers, old disabled production equipment (presumed disabled under UNSCOM supervision), and other hazardous industrial chemicals.
