Mustard Gas is a chemical weapon (pretty nasty one at that as well) which by the US definition is a WMD.

Is that a WMD?

Saddam used mustard gas on Kurds in northern Iraq during a 1987-88 campaign known as the Anfal, wich possibly killed 5,000 people and left 65,000 others facing severe skin and respiratory diseases, abnormal rates of cancer and birth defects, and a devastated environment.
