U.S. Spots Activity at Iraq Weapons Plant

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.

His point is that this is simply the media trying to jump on something. It could be anything, but it is setup down our end to look like chemical weapons.

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.

And you can bet the CIA knows a hella lot more about that plant than they will ever tell.

ninty · 08-14-2002, 12:15 PM

Yeah theres so much propaganda its not even funny.

Lets brerak down what we know.

60 Trucks were driving from a build to another place.

OMFG they must be transporting biological waepons.

Its rediculious what they come uo with. half the time their wrong about what they report. Media is retarded. Their supposed to know the facts before they report on things, not make stuff up.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah your are probably right. It could be a food processing plant, but that doesn't fit our government's agenda at this time. On the hand it could be a weapons plant. I personally think that we are being fed this kind of information, so Cheney/Bush can justify invading Iraq. Altering the truth so a government can jusity it's aggression is nothing new.
