UNSCOM Document Defines Iraqs Extensive Biological WMD Program (Weaponized Anthrax)
United Nations ^ | 1999 | United Nations Special Commission

Posted on 03/28/2006 6:44:10 PM PST by justa-hairyape

UNSCOM Document defines Iraq's Extensive Biological Weapons Program. Iraq began making anthrax in 1985 and was known to continue until 1991. It achieved weaponized anthrax capabilities. Excerpts of document follow.

(x) In summary, Iraq has declared the production of at least 19,000 litres of concentrated botulinum toxin (nearly 10,000 litres were filled into munitions), 8,500 litres of concentrated anthrax (some 6,500 litres were filled into munitions) and 2,200 litres of concentrated aflatoxin (1,580 litres were filled into munitions);

76. Iraq's biological weapons programme as described to the Commission embraced a comprehensive range of agents and munitions. Agents under Iraq's biological weapons programme included lethal agents, e.g. anthrax, botulinum toxin and ricin, and incapacitating agents, e.g. aflatoxin, mycotoxins, haemorrhagic conjunctivitis virus and rotavirus. The scope of biological warfare agents worked on by Iraq encompassed both anti-personnel and anti-plant weapons. The programme covered a whole variety of biological weapons delivery means, from tactical weapons (e.g. 122 mm rockets and artillery shells), to strategic weapons (e.g. aerial bombs and Al Hussein warheads filled with anthrax, botulinum toxin and aflatoxin) and "economic" weapons, e.g. wheat cover smut. Given the Iraqi claim that only five years had elapsed since its declared inception in 1985, the achievements of Iraq's biological weapons programme were remarkable.

109. The Special Commission has detected and identified a hitherto secret offensive biological weapons programme in Iraq comprising a large-scale production of biological warfare agents, the filling and deployment of missile warheads and aerial bombs with agents, as well as biological weapons research and development activities of considerable width and depth. As late as August of this year, Iraq presented to the Commission a formal, but essentially false, declaration on its biological weapons activities. Consequently, the Commission has requested again and - Iraq has agreed to provide - a full, final and complete disclosure of its biological weapons programme in the form of a new declaration. Much remains to be verified with regard to these weapons, in particular the destruction of munitions and bulk agents.

I knew there was a good reason President Clinton ordered anthrax vaccinations for all military personnel serving in the Persian Gulf! Too bad alot of us got the contaminated batches in 1997.

It's always so interesting to me when trolls like you show up and actually seem to think it was a GOOD thing that Saddam was training terrorists, paying terrorists and hiding those terrorists who bombed the WTC in 1993.

Hey, We are not doing a thing in Iran, India, N. Korea, Pakistan. France, Russia, China,Isreal or anywhere. These are sovereign states and we have no right to do anything except preemptively strike and we won't do that again ever.

Notice the troll is supporting Tancredo. From that post it is impossible to tell the difference in the troll and at least 1/3 of FR.

I just went and looked before my post too.

What I want to ask is if they are working at The Washington Post today or if they have the day off.

Give it up yourself, Winona. You'd hate to hear a single fact that contradicts your religiously held beliefs.

Winona,So you are ready to build a fence around our country to stop "the invasion of a sovereign nation"."337 Billion dollars" is too much to spend on something important, so you are for ending the war on poverty and aid to foreign countries?"2500 American dead" is too many people to die for anything ,so should we eliminate the police.[ that many of them die every three years or so protecting us]

I do agree with you on one point though---"the world IS round"
