Libya chemical weapons find

LIBYAN dictator Muammar Gaddafi had an undeclared stockpile of chemical weapons, international inspectors have confirmed.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said inspectors who visited Libya this week found sulphur mustard and artillery shells “which they determined are chemical munitions”, meaning the shells were not filled with chemicals, but were designed specifically to be loaded with chemical weapons.

He would not divulge the amounts of chemicals in the previously unknown stockpile, except to call it “a fraction” of what Gaddafi disclosed in the past.
