“According to the U.N. [UNSCOM’s (United Nations Special Commission on Iraq) report on January 25, 1999], ‘field tests of BW [biological warfare] agents started in late 1987/early 1988,’ and by 1989, biological agents were used in ‘field testing aerial bombs, rockets and other munitions.’ Among other things, U.N. inspectors found that the regime had been employing these agents in ‘aerosol dissemination studies,’ spraying toxins on monkeys and other small animals. By the end of the decade, Iraq possessed some 200,000 ‘special munitions,’ of which some 100,000 had been filled with chemical or biological substances.”
