Fallujah chemical weapons lab found

A chemical weapons laboratory has been found in Fallujah following the US-led offensive against insurgents, an Iraqi minister said today.

Minister of State Kassim Daoud said National Guard troops “found a chemical laboratory that was used to prepare deadly explosives and poisons.”

“They also found in the lab booklets and instructions on how to make bombs and poisons. They even talked about the production of anthrax,” he said

Yesterday, US marines said they had found a Fallujah chemical laboratory that also contained a banner of the terror group headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. But they said there was no indication it was used to produce chemical weapons.
