Suspected scud missiles found in chemical plant

[Memnoch1207]

EXPERTS are examining suspected Scud missiles discovered by British soldiers searching a chemical plant outside Basra.

A number of the grey-painted rockets, about 23ft long, were found in the Dirhamiyah petro-chemical plant close to Iraq’s second city.

The discovery has raised suspicions that Saddam Hussein was planning to arm the missiles with chemical warheads. British officers say it is difficult to find an innocent explanation for storing missiles in a chemical plant.

The find comes a day after soldiers with the Black Watch discovered a cache of weapons, including two Russian al-Harith anti-ship cruise missiles, at the Az Zubayr civilian heliport south of Basra.

The British defence company whose products were also discovered in the cache has denied selling any products to Iraq.

Wallop Defence Systems, of Middle Wallop, Hampshire, said the "weapons", described as fuses for detonators, were probably smoke grenades stolen by Iraq 13 years ago.

The United States has no evidence that that Petroleum Processing plant was ever involved with producing chemical or biological agents. Nor can they assume that the missile was intended to carry such hypothesized payloads.

Certainly, the missiles could be just there for refueling.

You know we have members of the military here in the US that browse message boards and defend our causes and try to muster up support for the US cause. Who's to think plenderj isn't doing the same thing for Iraq? Jamie, isn't it true that you are a member of the Republican Guard? Come clean with it
