Funny you should mention that...I just posted yesterday about that...I suspect it was swept under the rug...
Kuwait's Interior Ministry has denied a newspaper report that security officials foiled an attempt to smuggle US$60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to a European country. Maj. Adel al-Hashash, deputy manager of public relations at the Interior Ministry, told The Associated Press Sunday that the ministry has repeatedly denied the report.But if you read further into the story:
Shawkat al-Hakem, Al-Siyassah managing editor, told the AP on Saturday that the minister's comments did not negate his paper's report. He said the paper stood by its story.Source
In the original denial story, al-Sabah literally danced around the question in his denial (Asked about the report of seized biological warheads, al-Sabah also told al-Qabas newspaper: "Up to now we have not verified this...") and the "other items" that were confiscated were never defined...the story was literally swept under the rug after al-Sabah's denial, a little too quickly for my taste.
We have access to a massive amount of old articles here on FR. I've been using it constantly against the "No war for oil" types on other boards and they always say, "Well, they must have pulled it because it turned out to be false."
Anyone else know or have more on this or other stuff?
