2001 late : (REPORT : SCIENTIST RIHAB TAHA, WHOSE HUSBAND IS IRAQI OIL MINISTER AMIR RASHID UBAYDI, BELIEVED TO TEST HER POISONS ON HUMAN BEINGS) Military officials in Washington recently identified Rihab Taha as "the leading official in charge of Iraq's biological weapons program." She is also politically well-connected. Her husband is Iraqi oil minister Amir Rashid Ubaydi, who helps direct the country's relations with the U.N. weapons-inspection teams. U.N. inspectors believe Rihab Taha, who has a 5-year- old daughter, tests her poisons on human guinea pigs. Dr. John Turner, who once taught Rihab Taha biology, told London's Sunday Mirror: "It's a great shock, like finding your daughter has gone and done something dreadful." - "SECRETS OF 'DR.
