[quote="Pfc.Green":9980b]WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence agencies spotted activity last week at an Iraqi plant identified as a biological weapons production facility, The Washington Times reported in Wednesday edition.

"A convey of about 60 trucks was photographed by a U.S. spy satellite at a known biological weapons facility last week," the paper quoted U.S. intelligence officials as saying, adding that the site was located about six miles northwest of Baghdad.

"They're moving stuff in or out," an official familiar with the report told the paper. The official also noted that intelligence information about Iraq's weapons program was limited.

A CIA spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The Washington Times report on the truck convoy near Taji followed a Washington Post report earlier this month that U.S. intelligence was looking for a suspected Iraqi biological weapons laboratory north of Baghdad.

The Post quoted U.S. government officials as saying the plant, with 85 employees, may be producing a weapon-sized version of the lethal Ebola virus.[/quote:9980b]

I'm sorry but I have to take this with a grain of salt.
It may be true, or it could just be propaganda. What, you say propaganda?!?! Our government would never use propaganda on us!
Well they do.
