Reuters reports that Iraq's Minister of State Kassim Daoud, told a news conference that a laboratory for the manufacture of chemical weapons has been found in Falluja:
On Wednesday, Marines in Falluja said they had found a banner of the insurgent group led by Jordanian al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in a chemicals laboratory in Falluja.
But they said there was no indication the lab was used to produce chemical weapons.
It was not clear whether Daoud was referring to the same laboratory. Marines said on Thursday they were not aware of any additional laboratories being discovered, and were skeptical that evidence had been found of the manufacture of chemical weapons.
I don't know how big a deal this is, but like all reports about WMDs in Iraq take a deep breath and see what develops. I think there is more to this story than the "Missiles With "Nuclear Heads" Found In Iraq" story.
I agree with James Joyner that this story may not pan out.
