I too am puzzled by the attempt to make a big deal out of a few leftover WMD from the Iran/Iraq war. If that's a justification for war, maybe we should have invaded France... Disposal of WWI ordnance continues Bomb displosal experts are handling 85-year-old munitions April 15, 2001 Web posted at: 6:36 PM EDT (2236 GMT) VIMY, France -- Bomb disposal experts are continuing a lengthy operation to make safe a stockpile of toxic World War I munitions from an open-air storage compound. It has forced the mass evacuation of nearby homes and many residents may not be able to return home until next week. Wearing hooded rubber bodysuits and oxygen masks, the experts have been placing the rusted ordnance into refrigerated containers. The containers have then been loaded onto trucks ready for transporting to a safe storage depot near Paris. The compound, known locally as "Bear's Mouth," has for 25 years acted as a dump for the munitions that are still regularly found in fields throughout northern France. Some 173 tonnes of bombs, shells and mines are stacked in the compound, including shells containing mustard gas, phosgene and other chemicals. [more] archives.cnn.com
