The missiles were discovered early last month in a bunker and tested positive for cyclosarin a substance many times stronger than sarin.

inspectors and, inter alia, admitted to having produced 2,850 tons of mustard gas (a blister agent used repeatedly during the Iraq-Iran War), 210 tons of tabun (a nerve agent used in the Iraq-Iran war), 795 tons of sarin (another nerve agent used against Iran), 795 tons of cyclosarin (another nerve agent used against Iran), 2,200 gallons of anthrax (believed by many experts to be similar to the anthrax mailed to various individuals following the 9/11 attacks), 5,000 gallons of botulinum toxin, 581 gallons of aflatoxin, and numerous other chemical and biological agents.

The MM 1, which like the INFICON HAPSITE uses GC/MS for detecting chemical agents such as sarin, soman, mustard gas, lewsite and cyclosarin, saw combat with the US Armed Forces during the first Gulf War and continues to serve a vital role in chemical reconnaissance.

This could include deadly nerve agents such as sarin, cyclosarin and VX as well as a mustard agent similar to that used in the First World War.

Within a minute of exposure to high A CIA report released last month said Baghdad had begun renewed production of chemical warfare agents and probably had a "few hundred tonnes of them" including mustard gas, sarin, cyclosarin and VX.

Saddam is capable of producing mass casualties by deploying chemical agents like mustard gas, tabun, sarin, cyclosarin and VX.

The usual suspects include satin, soman, mustard, lewisite and cyclosarin.
