Iraq - Chemical Weapons Found?

The Kuwaiti News Agency is reporting that during the arrest of two Zarqawi associates, "a quantity of chemicals used in the manufacture of banned weapons" was found.

ARBIL, June 8 (KUNA) -- Two aides of terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi have been arrested, said director of the Kurdish National Alliance operations' center in Mosul Asu Mamand.

In statements to the press on Wednesday, the Kurdish official named the two aides as Ibrahim Mohammed Khattab and Ali Abdullah, known as Ali Al-Zuhairi, adding that they were also aides to Zarqawi's right-hand man Mullah Mehdi who was arrested last week.

He went on to say that a large amount of weapons, equipment and documents were seized at their hideout, as well as a quantity of chemicals used in the manufacture of banned weapons.

No word on the "quantity" or what the chemicals were.

Were these left over from Saddam or is Zarqawi importing chemical weapons into Iraq?
