Some of the Iraqi scientists and military men involved in Iraq's weapons programs:

-Dr. Rihab Taha, a microbiologist who was in charge of the country's secret biological laboratory which weaponized anthrax. She was nicknamed "Dr. Germ," by inspectors.

-Jaffar al-Jaffar, considered the reluctant father of Iraq's nuclear weapons program. He was jailed and tortured until he agreed in the 1980s to head the program.

-Hazem Ali, a virologist who may have knowledge of attempts to develop small pox or other lethal viruses.

-Mahdi Obeidi, a nuclear physicist who was involved in constructing gas centrifuges for uranium enrichment....
