On 19
April, Coalition forces took control in northern Iraq of a
specialised military trailer. US and UK technical experts
have examined the trailer and have concluded that it appears
to have been designed as a mobile production facility for
microbal agents. There are many similarities between the physical
characteristics of the trailer and intelligence reports of
mobile facilities used by Saddam Hussein's regime to evade
detection of its weapons of mass destruction programmes. The
technical processing equipment on the trailer, whatever its
intended purpose, should have been declared by Iraq under
UN Security Council Resolution 1441. No biological or chemical
warfare elements have been detected during initial investigation
of the trailer, but traces of a possible decontamination agent
have been found.
Detailed
forensic examination continues.
