Leading Iraqi Scientist Says He Lied to UN Inspectors
(New York Times) - Iraq "produced huge quantities" of liquid anthrax and botulinum toxin, says Nissar Hindawi, a leading figure in Iraq's biological warfare program in the 1980s, and the explanations he and other scientists gave UN inspectors about the extent of Iraq's efforts to produce poisons and germ weapons "were all lies." Though he left the program in 1989, Hindawi said he kept up on its progress through his students, some of whom stayed in the program until the war began last month.
