TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) – Over the past few days, in the wake of the bombings in Karbala and the ideological disputes that delayed the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution, there have been reports that U.S. forces have unloaded a large cargo of parts for constructing long-range missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the southern ports of Iraq.

A reliable source from the Iraqi Governing Council, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Mehr News Agency that U.S. forces, with the help of British forces stationed in southern Iraq, had made extensive efforts to conceal their actions.

He added that the cargo was unloaded during the night as attention was still focused on the aftermath of the deadly bombings in Karbala and the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution.

The source said that in order to avoid suspicion, ordinary cargo ships were used to download the cargo, which consisted of weapons produced in the 1980s and 1990s.

Shane Wolf told the Mehr News Agency that the occupation forces have received no reports on such events, but said he hoped that the coalition forces would find the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction one day.

1. Things are soon going to get very interesting.

Or not. Time will tell. Certainly many have been predicting since last summer that the U.S. would do this. Considering where * sits in the polls, I think the BFEE has been left with no choice (in their view, anyways).

2. I'm surprised...............

that they waited this long to plant WMD's in Iraq. It seems that it would have served them better to "find" these weapons well before now.
Of course we have to take this report with a grain of salt. The Tehran Times is not a beacon of journalistic integrity.

3. There was a report that some US special ops people

were killed by "friendly fire" as they tried to plant WMD's in Iraq shortly after the war started. Sorry don't have a link.
