The Iraqi Ministry of Defense announced that it arrested an al-Qaeda-linked cell producing a nerve agent, reportedly to be used in operations inside Iraq and later transferred to the capitals of neighboring countries.
The ministry said in a statement issued June 1 that “a special military force raided two sarin and mustard gas plants after they had been under surveillance for around three months,” noting that the first plant was in Baghdad and the second in one of the provinces.
