BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Danish troops have found suspicious mortar shells in southern Iraq that officials believe contain blister agents, the United States and Denmark announced Saturday.

Hmm...interesting how this "fine" occurs on a Sunday... I wonder, will
these be the so-called "WMDs" that threatened the US according to
shrub and his minions...? :eyes:

1. Already taken care of....

They are just shells left over from the Iran-Iraq war which may or may not contain some blister agents. Iraq even admitted in one report it didn't know where some 550 of these shells were to inspectors years ago and given their bad shape these were not a threat.
