U.S. Troops Possibly find Tabun
Although still not conclusive evidence and certainly not in military quantities, US troops discovered a bottle labeled "tabun", ABC (and others) is reporting. Tabun is an old organophosphate nerve agent ("nerve gas') in the same family as Sarin, and was deployed by Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war.

Traces of tabun in an empty bottle was reported before (the link is on cp somewhere...). Sounds like a re-report. Posted by: r.e. at April 4, 2003 09:01 PM"Oh that! We forgot to throw it away. It's old and stuff..." More false reporting doesn't help our credibility. an old empty bottle of tabun is hardly a breach. There are old emptly chemical weapons shells as well. this is no big deal. right now what doubters on the outside could say is that there now have been nine claims of "finds" all of which have turned out to be wrong. Posted by: dave at April 5, 2003 08:48 AMThere is no false reporting. The report was of a "possible" bottle of Tabun. That is accurate information. Nobody called it a breach. Furthermore, we don't yet know if it was an empty or full bottle of Tabun, and even a bottle is a breach, allthough you could only kill a few hundred people with it.
