| US Officials ’Confident’ of Weapons Lab Find |
| 2003-05-06 |
| EFL A vehicle found by Kurdish fighters last week in the northern Iraq city of Arbil may be a mobile weapons laboratory, U.S. officials said. Senior Defense officials told Fox News they are "confident" the vehicle was used to manufacture biological or chemical weapons agents. The vehicle contained fermenting tanks and dryers, such as those used to make the powder form of anthrax (search). Initial tests on the interior of the vehicle, which appeared to have been thoroughly cleaned, turned up negative results, but officials said tests were ongoing. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were expected to discuss the find Tuesday in a Pentagon briefing. |
