Polish soldiers discover chemical agents in Iraq

Polish soldiers discovered yet more evidence of the chemical weapons that Saddam's Iraq possessed, revealed U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld yesterday, stating that he received the news from Poland's Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdziński at the NATO summit earlier this week. Szmajdziński confirmed the report saying, "Polish soldiers discovered 16-17 Grad missiles and 82mm mortars. Initial investigation shows that they contain cyclo-sarin, a highly toxic gas." What has yet to be determined is in what year the projectiles and chemicals were made. Szmajdziński added that the Polish army did not reveal the news itself, because it wanted to know more details about chemical warfare first. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) T.J.
