Apparently 40 vials of Sarin have been found in Fallujah. One drop of Sarin on the skin kills. How many people could 40 vials kill? Sarin is classified by the U.N. as WMD, of type: Chemical.

Here is a slideshow on USA today. Go to the second slide in the show to see them. Note the German and Cyrillic writing on the package.

you forgot to mention the english on it as well. Interesting, but this stuff could have also of been shipped into Iraq after the invasion.

Thanks for the link too

I didn't forget; I thought the other was more noteworthy.

English is the first language generally found when more than one language is used, as in alternate instructions. The fact that the alternate languages of choice were German(?) and Russian(?) is more significant than the English, because the other alternate languages of choice could easily have been, say, Arabic or French. Spanish is a very common alternate language of choice but it would be more unlikely on weapons packages.

And of course, there could be various explanations for this find.

Maybe not technically a WMD in itself but it's been enough to foster and maintain the insurgency. Ready for the jihad /images/graemlins/smile.gif of forum posters that flame this one.
