KUWAIT CITY (AP)--Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said Wednesday.
The pro-government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It didn't say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.
The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but didn't say when.
Government officials couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990. (END) Dow Jones Newswires

there is already a thread running on this. again, unless there is a finding of actual material to go along with this, its nothing. I could try and sell baby powder as anthrax, that doesn't mean I am a "WMD smuggler".

If this is legit (watch those unnamed sources), the floor has just fallen out from under the RATS (again).

Impossible there are no WMD's in Iraq, Bush made the whole thing up. Just ask Howard, Wesley, John K, John E, Al, Carol, Dennis, Bob, Dick or Teddy, Tom, Nancy, Charlie or for that matter, Dan, Peter or Tom.

Very interesting.
However, according to Wilson and the Rats, there are/were no WMDS in Iraq.
This is going to be a bad week/month/year for the Ratislamofascists in the Senate and Congress.
