Officer: Troops Find Vials of Powder
NEAR BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. troops found thousands of boxes of white powder, nerve agent antidote and Arabic documents on how to engage in chemical warfare at an industrial site south of Baghdad, a U.S. officer said Friday.
Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said the materials were found Friday at the Latifiyah industrial complex 25 miles south of Baghdad.
"It is clearly a suspicious site," Peabody said.
Peabody said troops found thousands of boxes, each of which contained three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.
He also said they discovered atropine, used to counter the effects of nerve agents.
***I heard on CNN, most of the anti-dote to nerve gas they've found in Iraq was made in France.

Oh and PNJ, whilst the antidote may be made in France, chances are that the weapon was made in the U.S of A
I noticxe they keep finding lots of antidote but no actual offensive material..............:rolleyes:
They found crates of vials with a white power and the antidote for nerve gas. They also found ricin in the Al Qaeda affiliated group operating in Northern Iraq...in the Kurd's region.

In either case though, as has also been long argued, he wouldnt use them now knowing full well it would galvanise international opinion in favour of his immediate elimination.
