Forces made the discovery at an industrial site south of Baghdad. Reuters reported that they also found a second site containing vials of unidentified liquid and white powder. A U.S. officer said the site was close to the other plant, at the Latifiyah industrial complex, about 25 miles south of Baghdad, where soldiers had found the other vials and manuals. "It is clearly a suspicious site," Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said of the first site. Also discovered was atropine, used to counter the effects of exposure to chemical agents, and 2-Pam chloride, which is used in combination with atropine in case of chemical attack.")
