'Weapons research' at 40 Afghan sites
(Filed: 27/11/2001)

AMERICA has identified more than 40 sites in Afghanistan where research on weapons of mass destruction may have been taking place.

"We have identified more than 40 places that represent potential for WMD (weapons of mass destruction) research or things of that sort," said commander of US forces in Afghanistan, General Tommy Franks.

Gen Franks said these sites were now under control of anti-Taliban forces and were being systematically checked by US authorities for evidence of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons research. "We'll perform the tests that need to be performed at every possible facility."

Officials of the Bush administration said they take seriously claims by Osama bin Laden and his al-Qa'eda terrorist network that they have pursued the development of weapons of mass destruction.
