| Description | Coalition experts are examining dozens of mortar shells found in southern Iraq which could contain chemical weapons.
Danish troops who found them said they showed traces of blister gases - compounds which include mustard gas.
However, US officials played down the find, saying the shells were probably left over from Saddam Hussein's 1980-88 war with Iran.
The coalition has yet to uncover proof that Iraq was still developing weapons at the time of the war last spring.
The 36 120mm shells appear to have been buried for at least 10 years, the Danes said. |
