Re: Chemicals Found
While I have no idea what the tests will bear out, whether or not these may be weapons grade chemical agents, It was after all a pesticide plant, and a pretty standard pesticide, which was once used here but no longer is to my knowledge, is the same chemical as military nerve gas, only in much smaller concentrations.<br /><br />The old Shell no pest strips and old style dog flea collars were made of the stuff, only in much smaller concentrations of course than military grade stuff.<br /><br />They were very effective pesticides, but had other problems and taken off the market here. I doubt if they have the same EPA rules in Iraq.<br /><br />Still, it is not surprising that they may well get a positive reading initially, even if they are not weapons grade.<br /><br />Wait for the formal tests of what exactly we are dealing with seems in order.
