Polish troops in Iraq recently have discovered "16 or 17" warheads containing
sarin or mustard gas, according to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"Now these are weapons that we always knew Saddam Hussein had that he had not
declared, and they have tested them, and I have not seen them, and I have not
tested them, but they believe that they are correct that these, in fact, were
undeclared chemical weapons ... ," Rumsfeld told radio talk host Roger
Hedgecock in an interview transcribed and posted on the Department of Defense
website.
Rumsfeld said he was told of the discovery of the "quite lethal" chemical
weapons by the Polish minister of defense at the NATO summit in Turkey last
weekend.
The troops had made the find "within the last period of days" before the
summit, he said.
Arguing for the difficulty of finding WMD in a country the size of California,
Rumsfeld pointed out the hole where ousted dictator Saddam Hussein was captured
"was probably big enough to hold chemical and biological weapons sufficient to
kill tens of thousands of people."
Rumsfeld also mentioned the U.S. had found jet aircraft Hussein's regime had
buried in sand.
Hedgecock asked Rumsfeld to comment on published reports that Syria is hiding
Iraq's WMD.
The defense secretary acknowledged "there have been a lot of intelligence
speculation and rumors and chatter about the fact that Saddam Hussein may have
placed some of his weapons of mass destruction in Syria prior to the start of
the war."
But he said, "Until that can be validated and proved, you’ll find people in
the administration not talking about it."

Polish Army Says Iraq Shells Had Deadly Cyclosarin
Fri Jul 2, 2004 01:26 PM ET
By Wojciech Moskwa
WARSAW (Reuters) - Artillery shells found by Polish troops in Iraq
definitely contained the deadly nerve agent cyclosarin, the Polish army
said on Friday.
The threat of weapons of mass destruction possessed by Saddam Hussein's now
toppled regime was the main justification used by Washington to go to war
against Iraq last year, but U.S.-led forces have only found small amounts
of banned weapons.
Poland said its soldiers found 17 Grad rockets and two mortar shells in
late June and said U.S. experts had carried out tests on the weapons.
"Tests conducted showed that there was cyclosarin in the rocket heads,"
General Marek Dukaczewski, the head of army intelligence, told a news
conference.
But the U.S. military said only two of the rockets had tested positive for
sarin gas, and another 16 of the rockets found by the Poles had contained
no chemical agents. The reason for the discrepancy in numbers was unclear.
Polish Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski said the discovery of the
rockets showed Saddam had failed to account for banned munitions held by
Iraq.
"Our predictions and reports that Saddam Hussein did not come clean with a
large sum of weapons, artillery shells and of weapons of mass destruction
were proven true," he said.
"Some of those warheads were old but it could not be ruled out some could
still be used," Szmajdzinski said.
Poland said in a statement from Iraq that "beyond doubt the shells were
from the 1980-1988 period, of the type used against Kurds and during the
Iraq-Iran war."
In Baghdad, the U.S. military issued a statement saying that two 122 mm
rockets found by Polish forces had tested positive for sarin gas and
confirmed that they were left over from the Iran-Iraq war, but said they
posed little danger.
The statement said an Iraqi civilian had led the soldiers to the rockets in
the town of Hilla, 62 miles south of Baghdad on June 16.
"Due to the deteriorated state of the rounds and small quantity of
remaining agent, these rounds were determined to have limited to no impact
if used by insurgents against Coalition Forces," the statement said.
The Iraqi showed the Polish troops 16 more 122 mm rockets from June 23 to
26, which were all empty and tested negative for any type of chemicals, the
U.S. statement said.
"BLACK MARKET"
Poland said it "purchased" the shells through individuals who contacted
army officials in its military zone in south-central Iraq.
"We bought all the shells available ... Terrorists are seeking these
missiles on the black market, offering a price of around $5,000 per
warhead," Dukaczewski said, adding that Poland had no evidence that any
chemical weapons fell into such hands.
Iraq said it produced cyclosarin munitions in the 1980s to fight Iran but
was committed to destroying stocks and ceasing production by U.N.
resolutions following the 1991 Gulf War.
After inconclusive searches by international inspectors, President Bush
accused then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein of failing to give up chemical and
biological weapons and invaded Iraq last year to depose him.
"The intelligence we received suggested that these missiles had probably
been hidden from United Nations inspectors," Dukaczewski said.

Iraq.
1. These rockets have an effective range of around 20km. These weapons
posed no 'direct threat' to the USA
2. There were 17 of them... thats not even one full cluster... are you
saying that *this* (plus 2 mortar shells) is a huge stockpile?
