Mustard, cyanide found in Euphrates River, MSNBC reports

Posted April 4 2003, 11:35 AM EST

NEW YORK - U.S. Marines found cyanide and mustard agents in high concentrations in the Euphrates River near Nassiriya in Iraq, television network MSNBC reported on Friday, citing a briefing from Marine officials.

The agents were found during routine tests conducted to ensure the water being used is safe, MSNBC said.

Contacted by Reuters, neither Centcom officials in Qatar nor U.S. military officials in Iraq could confirm the MSNBC report.

Mustard gas produces painful, long-lasting blisters and often leads to blindness, while cyanide kills by preventing blood from transporting oxygen
