NEAR KERBALA, Iraq (Reuters) - New U.S. tests indicate that substances found at sites in central Iraq are not chemical weapons agents as first suspected, U.S. military sources said on Tuesday.

"The latest tests turned out negative," one source said.

U.S. military officers said on Monday that initial tests on substances found near the central Iraqi town of Hindiya suggested the presence of nerve agents sarin and tabun and the blister agent lewisite.

The military sources said it was not yet clear what the substances were. One officer had said on Monday that they might turn out to be simple pesticides.
