Iraq Survey Group leader David “Kay stated [in his October 2, 2003 report] that his team had found disturbing evidence of compartmentalized biological warfare programs in secret laboratories, whose personnel might have fled abroad, ‘and may have taken evidence and even weapons-related materials with them.’ While the team had not found the materials yet, ‘we are not yet at the point where we can say definitely either that such weapons do not exist or that they existed before the war and our only task is to find where they had gone.’ ”
