Report: Iraq insurgents seeking chemical, germ weapons

By Bob Drogin
Los Angeles Times



WASHINGTON — Insurgent networks across Iraq are increasingly trying to acquire and use toxic nerve gases, blister agents and germ weapons against U.S. and coalition forces, according to a CIA report.
Investigators said one group recruited scientists and sought to prepare poisons over seven months before it was dismantled in June.

U.S. officials say the threat is especially worrisome because leaders of the previously unknown group, which investigators dubbed the "Al Abud network," were based in Fallujah close to insurgents aligned with fugitive militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
