DJ Barrels In Iraq Test Positive For Nerve Agents - MSNBC 04/07/2003 Dow Jones News Services (Copyright © 2003 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Barrels found by the U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Iraq have tested positive for sarin, tabun and mustard agents, MSNBC reported Monday. A correspondent with the division reported that the soldiers who conducted the tests said the finding was very suspicious but not conclusive and further tests are planned. According to the reporter, a former Iraqi colonel suggested to the U.S. forces that they dig in the back of an apparent pesticide plant south of Baghdad and that they had found freshly turned earth and discovered 11 25-gallon barrels and three 55-gallon barrels. The reporter said the barrels initially tested positive for sarin, tabun and mustard agent and the U.S. forces called in two different Fox vehicles that test for chemical weapons and those again produced positive tests. According to the reporter, sarin is found in pesticides but the high readings found in this case and the fact that they had been hidden was deemed very suspicious. -By Mike Wall, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-4378; hbsglobaldesk@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires 04-07-03 1316ET News provided by Dow Jones NewswiresSM, PR News Wire™ and Business Wire™.
