Iraq Experimented With Radiological Weapon

Compiled From Wire Services

In a new revelation about Iraq’s deadly arms program, chief U.N. weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus told the Security Council Tuesday that Baghdad experimented with a radiological weapon, one of the world’s rarest tools of warfare.

The weapon would take material heavily radiated in a reactor and disperse it in the air or over the ground to sicken or kill the enemy.
