MSNBC.com finds signs of ricin, botulinum at Islamic militants’ camp

SARGAT, Iraq, April 4 — MSNBC.com tests reveal evidence of the deadly toxins ricin and botulinum at a laboratory in a remote mountain region of northern Iraq allegedly used as a terrorist training camp by Islamic militants with ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is conducting its own tests at the same area, but has not yet released the results, according to officials in northern Iraq.

You mean Hans Blix was wrong all this time?

[MrFred]

Its good to know that MSNBC is testing all the suspected toxic material for us. ?!?!?

[LurkedLongEnough]

But now we will be right and the rest of the world will be wrong... I shall be so ashamed... </sarcasm>

I'm glad this didn't come from an embedded reporter for Fox News! Maybe the public will believe MSNBC!

[sarasota]

Yes but you know they will say that the Coalition planted them.

[rhombus]

Yes but... you know what the Saddamites will claim. "That area was not under the control of Saddam"

[TexasNative2000]

At this moment, Peter Jennings is working on the time-line to explain that the US troops brought these materials into Iraq and planted them to incriminate the Iraqi's.

"That area was not under the control of Saddam"

That's all right. The flood gates are about to open. There'll be lots of finds in and around Baghdad, I believe.

MSNBC should not be doing any tests for chemical/biological weapons since it would make them a participant rather than an observer of the war.

[VRWC_minion]

But, but these folks were not friends of Saddam, they never exchanged xmas gifts. How could we hold someone responsible even if he didn't cooperate with the world community to remove WMD ?

Hanz Ignorance is Blix Bliss and Janine Garafalo were WRONG? Tell me it ain't so! [couple of stupid nitwits if you ask me]

[Grampa Dave]

The Da$$hole and the Pelo$i are deeply Soddamined, er Saddened when they heard this news.

And they've got Johnny Cochran on retainer....lol!

[kattracks]

Tests like those used by U.N. weapons inspectors gave positive results for the toxins ricin and botulinum in a training camp linked to al-Qaida.

[Calpernia]

Is there any significant difference about the chem/bio materials being in Northern Iraq? I heard propaganda saying that was not in SH's reign. Any input?

[buffyt]

ANY TIME LITTLE peter Lemmings is on TV, I turn the channel.  We about get a concussion everytime his face shows up on the screen, as we all dive to grab the remote!

 

The war to liberate Iraq is entering its third week. President Bush said last week, regarding the Iraqi regime's tenacious hold on power, "This man Saddam Hussein has tortured and brutalized his people for a long, long time. We had reports the other day of a dissident who had his tongue cut out and was tied to a stake in the town square, and he just bled to death. That's how Saddam Hussein retains power."

 

On celebrities giving advice on the war effort...
My trash man is a great trash man, too, but he is not an expert on the war effort!

 

[Gamecock]

I'm shocked!

[PISANO]

NO WAY! But it doesn't matter it is in the NORTH, Sadaam doesn't control the north, as we all know, and it is in the Terrorist camp that everyone KNOWS isn't there. </sarcasm>

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Kofi the War Kriminal will have some excuse for his buddy Saddam and his chemicals
