Threat of Chemical Weapons use in Iraq is INCREASING!
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2026&ncid=2026&e=4&u=/latimests/20041010/ts_latimes/theotherweaponsthreatiniraq

WASHINGTON — Insurgent networks across Iraq (news - web sites) are increasingly trying to acquire and use toxic nerve gases, blister agents and germ weapons against U.S. and coalition forces, according to a CIA (news - web sites) report. Investigators said one group recruited scientists and sought to prepare poisons over seven months before it was dismantled in June.

<...>

But a little-noticed section of the 960-page report says the risk of a "devastating" attack with unconventional weapons has grown since the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq last year.

The Bush administration, which went to war primarily to disarm the Baghdad regime of suspected illicit stockpiles, has not previously disclosed that the insurgent groups that have emerged and steadily expanded since Hussein's ouster are trying to develop their own crude supplies of such deadly agents as mustard gas, ricin and the nerve gas tabun.
