UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations found vials of a chemical warfare agent, which had been removed from Iraq a decade ago, in a U.N. building near the body's headquarters in New York but officials said on Thursday there was no danger.Okay class, it's quiz time. Read this question and circle the appropriate answer:
The FBI was called in to remove the substances, which were discovered last Friday and included phosgene, an older generation chemical warfare agent, taken in 1996 by inspectors from a former Iraqi chemical weapons plant at Al Muthanna, the inspectors said in a statement.
Phosgene was used extensively during World War I as a choking agent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. (H/T - Yahoo!)
Finding decade-old Iraq chemical warfare agents inside the U.N. proves:
- The United Nations is still a joke, and about as secure as a Ring Ding in Kirstie Alley's pantry.
- Iraq was aggressively pursuing a chemical warfare program, even though the Democrats said they were not.
- Nothing. Karl Rove planted the chemicals inside the U.N. building.
