<<< According to a Senate Committee Report of 1994 {1}: From 1985, if not
earlier, through 1989, a veritable witch's brew of biological materials were exported
to Iraq by private American suppliers pursuant to application and licensing by the
U.S. Department of Commerce. Amongst these materials, which often produce
slow, agonizing deaths, were: Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax. Clostridium
Botulinum, a source of botulinum toxin. Histoplasma Capsulatam, cause of a
disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord and heart. Brucella Melitensis, a
bacteria that can damage major organs. Clotsridium Perfringens, a highly toxic
bacteria causing systemic illness. Clostridium tetani, highly toxigenic Also,
Escherichia Coli (E.Coli); genetic materials; human and bacterial DNA. Dozens of
other pathogenic biological agents were shipped to Iraq during the 1980s. The
Senate Report pointed out: "These biological materials were not attenuated or
weakened and were capable of reproduction." "It was later learned," the committee
revealed, "that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical
to those the United Nations inspectors found and removed from the Iraqi biological
warfare program." These exports continued to at least November 28, 1989 despite
the fact that Iraq had been reported to be engaging in chemical warfare and
possibly biological warfare against Iranians, Kurds, and Shiites since the early
80s. >>>
