U.S. troops south of Baghdad believe they have captured Russian chemical warheads along with a launcher and a chemical warfare specialist, according to a reporter embedded with the 3rd Infantry Division.

The warheads – discovered in a confrontation with Saddam Hussein's Medina division about 60 miles south of Baghdad – have been transferred for testing, according to Paul Strand of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

A spokesman for the U.S. Army Central Command in Kuwait, Dani Burrows, told WND that her office could not confirm the report. Diane Perry said her Pentagon office had not heard the report but noted that embedded reporters often are getting stories ahead of the Defense Department.

Strand, quoting a "highly placed source," said by telephone that the American troops are not certain they found all of the Medina division's chemical weapons and fear they might be "hit by chemical shells any time now."

The captured warheads had Russian writing on them, he said.

BALTIMORE—The Pentagon has obtained vital information on Iraqi chemical weapons from Alcolac International, the Baltimore-based company that sold them to the Mideast nation in the '80s. "It's terrifying what Iraq has," Pentagon spokesman James Reese said Monday. "Saddam possesses massive stockpiles of everything from ethylene to thiodiglycol, according to sales records provided by Alcolac." The Pentagon has also been collecting key intelligence on Iraqi nuclear weapons and guidance systems from Honeywell, Unisys, and other former U.S. suppliers to Iraq.

Barry - nothing to do with the post but I saw you on TV last night. You were talking about RW. Looked like older footage. It was on the Fine Living channel.

Pretty cool.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I heard it too, looks like some people have "egg on there face". The report I heard came directly from a reporter with a unit. I didn't hear what unit. I also heard they captured the officer in charge as well. This finding and the chem plant I wonder what the french and the UN says now.

I believe what you are referring to has already been addressed by the Pentagon. Some big honcho said that the report is not true.

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

Are you referring to the chemical plant that they secured a few days ago? The one that Blix supposedly knew about?

The one where they found Nothing?
