TAJI, Iraq (Army News Service, June 8, 2005) – The Iraqi Army’s Operation Lightning resulted in several detainees and weapons confiscations in Taji and across Iraq, said military officials.

Searches in Taji are part of the larger Iraqi Army operation to disrupt the enemy’s ability to attack the legitimately-elected government and innocent citizens of Iraq. The first few days of the operation have provided several good leads.

I've noticed that Fallujah, Qaim, and now this town where there has been a lot of fighting are all sites where Saddam's WMDs were produced. I'm not sure what it means but its interesting.

Anyone know if Tal Afar had any WMD sites?

WMD'S...WMD'S...What WMD'S? [/sarcasm]

No idea on the WMD question. A quick search didn't show me anything.

Wouldn't doubt your speculation. Would love for some local to RAT out a warehouse cache and it be filled with the long missing WMDs. The DimoRATS, Euro-Weinies, and Lame Stream Medias heads would "POP!"
