Saddam Regime Document CMPC-2003-016083 dated in 2001 contains a series of Top Secret memos that address the production of Nerve Gas Detectors which was prohibited by the United Nations resolutions concerning Iraq according to the document itself. The importance of the production of the Nerve Gas Detector is shown by the top secret letters exchange between the Presidential Office and the head of the Iraqi Military Industrialization Commission (M.I.C). This documents is yet another indication that Saddam Regime never stopped his WMD programs, and the nerve Gas Detector which some can see it a “defensive in nature” is not to be considered so when it comes to Saddam Regime, everything has an offensive and aggressive use.

Beginning of Partial Translation of page 71
Based on what is in the letter of the respected Presidential Secretariat (Top Secret) aa’/4 on 22/1/2001 followed by the Top Secret letter of (M.I.C) 2/4/44 on 13/1/2001 and after review of the technical report the commission recommend the following:
1. Consider it a work that reach level of Invention Works because it replace the need that occur to the Russian equipment that has an expired efficiency and that exist in the storages of the Chemical Class, and it is a PROHIBITED EQUIPMENT where the price of the effective material in it can reach 51,000 Dollars

I will be looking for that, thanks for the tip.
I don't disagree that Saddam was always trying to build up his weaponry and capabilities. Would you concede that he might also be looking at how he would respond if Iram used nerve gas and how he might protect his forces in such a scenario?

Very Interesting!!!
So Why have nerve gas detectors?
Well almost immediately The best reason I can think of is to be able to check for leaks in your nerve gas supplies, you really don't want to go around checking for nerve gas leaks in ammo using the sniff test and ye olde Mark 1 nose.
Especially if these were purchased in volume.
Saddam would never put himself in a situation of defense only with Iran, no way. If he thinks the Iranians were working on Chemical Weapons then he is going to have his as well.
BTW, please keep up the tremendous work,jveritas. America truly needs what you are doing.
Another great find! Thanks for your hard work!
That it is, what you are doing is absolutely priceless. Thank you!
jveritas strikes again!
Suggestion: Why not copy documents to place that you can do keyword searches on?
Didn't you translate a document about hiding chemical weapons and it turned out to be about the Iranians hiding chemical weapons? What was the date of that document?
Thank you very much RR. We need to have more people aware of these very important documents.
I am not aware of this document, I will search my files though.
Jveritas, If I remember correctly it was about hiding CWs in a grove of trees and then someone pointed out that the name of the location was actually in Iran and the document was about Iran.
Maybe I saw it a Ray Robison's website but I thought it was here in one of your translations and discussions. I'll look for it too. The date of said document would be interesting.
Yes, but no actual WMDs-- hard to give this one legs.
This was a document by the Iranian that talks about Saddam regime hiding WMD shortly before the war.
Okay! Now I remember... do you the link for it? I'd like to read it again. Thanks.
I will try to find it.
