Germany Says No Trace of Chemical Weapons in Kuwait BERLIN (Reuters) - The German Defense Ministry said on Saturday an examination conducted by German soldiers on an Iraq missile fired at Kuwait found no signs of biological or chemical weapons. A spokesman for the ministry in Berlin said a team of German chemical, nuclear and biological weapons experts had examined the remains of the missile on Friday. "It is a Scud missile but had neither biological or chemical weapons on it," Defense Minister Peter Struck said. Germany is not participating in the war in Iraq, but has had a team of about 100 chemical weapons experts based in Kuwait as part of the Enduring Freedom campaign. Iraq fired Scud missiles at Kuwait on Thursday, officials said, sending U.S. troops scrambling into chemical protective suits and setting air raid sirens blaring in Kuwait City. A Kuwaiti Defense Ministry spokesman said a U.S. Patriot anti-missile defense battery brought down two Iraqi Scuds, intercepting one with three Patriot missiles and the other with a single Patriot. Neither missile was believed to be armed with chemical or biological weapons, an Interior Ministry official told Reuters.
