Boston Globe: Warheads containing nerve agent found in Iraq, Polish Defense Ministry says

Polish troops have found two warheads in Iraq believed to contain a deadly nerve agent, but it is not clear what period the weapons came from, the Defense Ministry said Thursday.

The two warheads were found in early June in a bunker in the area controlled by Polish forces, and they tested positive for cyclosarin, a substance many times stronger than sarin, the ministry said in a statement.

Another dozen were found later in June and were being tested in Baghdad and the United States, he said.
