US say may have found Iraqi WMD storage site

"In a warehouse outside Baghdad. The U.S. news station National Public Radio, reporting what appeared to be a separate discovery, said U.S. forces found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons.

NPR said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were "ready to fire.""

Smoking gun -- coming soon. My guess is that most is hidden in the Iraqi/Syria border area.

North of Karbala: U.S. Army commanders said they have discovered more than a dozen barrels of chemicals in an agricultural facility 30 miles northeast of there that have tested positive as blister and nerve agents.

In a compound south of the central Iraqi town of Hindiyah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad: initial tests of samples from the facility were inconsistent. Some tests did not indicate chemical weapons, while others indicated the presence of G-class nerve agents Ñ which include sarin and tabun Ñ and mustard agent, a blistering chemical first used in World War I.

Washington Post's take on the story and Fox's.
