The Iraqi Government claims to have found a chemical bomb factory in Falluja.

However, marines in the city said they were unaware of any such discovery, and the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said he would be surprised if a chemical laboratory found in Iraq was capable of creating weapons.

"Soldiers from the Iraqi National Guard found a chemical laboratory that was used to prepare deadly explosives and poisons," the Minister of State, Kassim Daoud, told a news conference on Thursday.

"They also found in the lab booklets and instructions on how to make bombs and poisons. They even talked about the production of anthrax."

At a gathering of the Oxford Union debating club, Mr Blix said: "Let's see what the chemicals are. Many of these stories evaporate when they are looked at more closely."

US forces said they had they discovered a huge cache of conventional weapons in a mosque inside Falluja. A truck found in the mosque compound was said to be laden with explosive compounds, rocket-propelled grenades, grenades, mortar rounds, rockets and bomb-making materials.

1. Is this the same place

that had the "Al Qaeda Headquarters" banner? Maybe the instructional lab booklet was autographed by OBL.

2. I was thinking about

making an ATOMIC bomb. First I need a large power plant for electric and some pipe wrenches, screwdriver, pliers, big hammer and so on.

I think.
