P U B L I C A F F A I R S Iraq has done research on a multitude of
lethal biological agents—anthrax,botulinum toxin, aflatoxin, ricin, as
well as the agents that cause gas gan-grene, plague, typhus, tetanus,
cholera,camelpox and hemorrhagic fever. UN inspectors reported that
Iraq has failed to fully disclose the scope and nature of its
biological weapons program.

Multiple sources confirm the existence of mobile units producing
biologica lweapons, which Iraq denies.

¦Anthrax – Iraq declared produc-ing nearly 8,500 liters but denied its
ability to produce dry agent. UN inspectors believe Iraq may have
produced 26,000 liters and can produce dry agent.

¦Botulinum toxin – Iraq declared 19,000 liters. The UN believes it
could have produced more than double that amount.

Chemical WeaponsVX Nerve Gas – The UN concluded that Iraq had not
accounted for 1.5 tons of the VX agent. Just one dropis enough to kill
a person.

Chemical and Biological Weapons Delivery Systems UNMOVIC has reported
that Iraq failed to provide evidence to account for 1,000 tons of
mustard gas, 550 mustard gas-filled munitions, and hundreds o
fbiological weapons-capable aerialbombs.

Iraq has denied any connection between its Unmanne dAerial Vehicles
(UAVs) Programsand chemical or biological agent dispersal, despite a
previous admission and has failed to turn over all of its UAVs to the
UN. From a truck in Iraq, its small UAVs canr each Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, or Israel.

From a ship, one can reach New York, Paris, London, Berlin,or
Beijing.Nuclear Development Iraq has repeatedly sought to illegally
procure aluminum tubes controlled by the Nuclear Suppliers Group, that
are consistent with its pre-Gulf War design to enrich uranium.


Ballistic MissilesIraq admitted that multiple test flights of the
al-Samoud 2 and al-Fat’h Ballistic Missiles exceeded the150 kilometer
limit set by the UN, but falsely declared that these missile systems
comply with UN requirements. UNMOVIC declared al-Samoud 2 prohibited
and should be destroyed.

IRAQ’SHIDDENWEAPONS: Failing to Disclose and Disarm 022703
THEUNITEDNATIONS SECURITYCOUNCIL RESOLUTION1441 SET TWO TESTS FOR
SADDAM HUSSEIN: to fully disclosehis weapons of mass destruction and
to immediately, unconditionally, and actively cooperate with
UnitedNations (UN) inspectors. Saddam’s regime failed both. He did not
file a full, complete, and accurate decla-ration of his weapons to the
UN and has not cooperated fully with UN inspections. He has not
compliedwith Resolution 1441 which offered him a final opportunity to
disarm peacefully. It is time for the UNSecurity Council to step up to
its responsibilities and uphold Resolution 1441.
