Libya's Muammar Gaddafi had chemical weapon cache

Libya's Muammar Gaddafi had chemical weapon cache

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16650192

".............Libya's new rulers told the group about the previously unknown stocks last year after removing Gaddafi from power.

"The inspectors verified the declared chemical weapons, which consist of sulphur mustard agent that is not loaded into munitions," the OPCW said.

"At the same time, at the request of the Libyan authorities, the inspectors examined munitions, mainly artillery shells, which they determined are chemical munitions and hence declarable."......................."

Well lookie here. Don't expect this to make much of a splash in the MSM. Maybe just a "Good thing he's gone" blurb for a single day..

hmmm, Iraq I am sure must have sprinkled them throughout. Not to say Libya didn't have their own, which they probably did..

But you would have, if you could have, right?

I mean, you got it with the intent of using it at some point, right?

But seriously, NO one acquires these types of things without it being - if only in the back of their mind - something they will use, if need be.
