No, all we have here is the word of an Iraqi officer who may well be simply trying to curry American favor to improve his situation. Let him lead us to some of these weapons, though, and it'll be a different story.

He said the Fedayeen had hidden them. He was told that his men were to use masks if/when they deployed the weapons, but he was not in charge of hiding the weapons.
