MSNBC ran a report on this just now, with photos.
Remember that story from a year+ back about that plot in Jordan to set off a chemical weapon in Annan? That story went nowhere of course, quickly buried. The reporter on MSNBC said his sources believed this facility, and/or the people running it, is linked to that Annan attack that was thwarted.

Wouldn't that just be awesome to find out on the very day that Cindy Sheehan's new commercial calling Bush a LIAR about WMDs starts running?

That is one ominous looking set-up. Any idea what it was designed to produce?
I sure hope this gets a lot of press coverage (doubt that it will, of course).

Any idea what it was designed to produce? No. I'll wait for the experts to weigh in.
