Kuwait foils smuggling of chemicals, bio warheads from Iraq
Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said on Wednesday.
The pro-Government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It did not say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.

The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but did not say when.

2. Strangely enough, they were marked...
"made in USA"--authorities claim the labels were a clever ruse by Saddam to befuddle the American public.

4. This was reported yesterday
And so far, no one else is picking it up. Do you suppose it might be an exaggeration or even...untrue?
