If it were ".DAT" or ".WPD" or ".MLB" or ".DOC" or something as a data file, it might be more believable, but, c'mon people. An executable file? How do you kill someone with an executable file? What use would it be?

Self-extracting compressed text (ZIP) files come with .exe suffixes. You execute it and it uncompresses the embedded text file(s) for you.

Okay, if you want to believe that they had self-extracting data files that wouldn't have a ".zip" or similar extension, fine. It could have been that. After the Gulf War's ... ummm... exaggerations (remember the American Spectator article on the castration of all the boys at the Kuwait school?) and Klinton's exaggerations, I think Occam's razor has to scream : HOAX HOAX.
