"The round was an old binary-type requiring the mixing of two chemical components in separate sections of the cell before the deadly agent is produced," Kimmitt said. "The cell is designed to work after being fired from an artillery piece."

This is very significant!! This means that the round is normally "inert" until fired and that, in order for the sarin to have been created, the planter of the device had to KNOW what was in the round and how to activate (although crudely!)

Of course, our media will ignore it.

BTW, I like the way the AP ended the article - makes you think this is no big deal. No, no bias at the AP!

the Administration should come out and say "We are very concerned that the Terrorists may have discovered a stockpile of Iraq's WMD. We are monitoring the situation closely." ... then check out the reaction of the press and libs ... if they belittle it that means they are not willing to connect the dots and do not care about the safety of the troops

If this is true, and knowing that this is a homemade bomb out of a real munitions, then find the ones who planted it and you might find more WMD.
