Mobile labs “not for bioweapons”
A number of experts are contradicting the claims by coalition leaders that the two trucks found by the Americans in Iraq were really mobile labs for bioweapons. Increasingly, it looks like the official explanation of the Iraqi government, that these were for producing hydrogen for artillery balloons, is plausible.
The Observer has discovered that not only did the Iraq military have such a system at one time, but that it was actually sold to them by the British.
These trucks were as close to evidence for a current WMD programme as the coaltion has been, and now it appears to be back to square one.
