Iraqi chemical bombs

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Concern over Iraqi chemical bombs - the use of chlorine gas by insurgents is not a sign of WMD - the chlorine is common and used to kill bacteria in the water. The delivery vehicles are being hit with explosive detonations that have an added extra cloud of gas that burns skin and if inhaled just a few breaths can cause death. If chlorine has been an available resource, why it is only now that it is being used to amplify the carnage potential? Probably nobody thought it was feasible to risk the water supply used by the locals and insurgents as the occupying forces most likely have their own water supply. So destroying the chlorine may burn a few more soldiers but it may kill thousands if there is an outbreak of typhoid.

Suicide bombers in Iraq - what are you doing to your Muslims brothers?
