(1,893 posts)UN weapons inspectors reported in 2004 that Bunker 13 housed 2,500 sarin-filled chemical rockets and about 180 tons of sodium cyanide, a very toxic chemical and precursor for the warfare agent tabun.
The report, made after weapons inspectors left Iraq in 2003, said Bunker 41 contained 2,000 empty artillery shells and 605 1-ton containers with mustard residue, which cant be used for chemical warfare.
