The strange case of Falluja 2

Confidential files reveal Tory ministers' roles in approval of gas-producing facility and plans to hide it from US

Falluja 2 is one of the reasons Britain is planning to go to war. Listed as the headquarters of the Tariq state company, this £14m chemical plant was purchased from abroad in the 1980s to make chlorine, part one in a process from which outlawed chemical weapons such as mustard gas and the nerve gases tabun and sarin can be produced.
US satellite photos have pinpointed the vats and piping of the installation 50 miles outside Baghdad as a key part of the dictator's rebuilt armoury of potential chemical weapons.
Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, zeroed in on it last month. "Iraq has embedded key portions of its illicit chemical weapons infrastructure within its legitimate civilian industry," he told the security council in his dossier justifying war against Saddam.


Holy blank! ...........It just all runs together so much so it is hard to keep up with.
