Finding Iraq's weapons 'not a top priority' 150 truckloads of ammo moved Iraqi female scientist captured Iraq has mobile labs

Washington - A tractor trailer seized by US forces last month in northern Iraq appears to be part of a mobile lab for making chemical and biological weapons, a US defence official said on Tuesday, citing the preliminary conclusions of a US review.

"The preliminary review of this piece of equipment reveals it could possibly be part of this mobile chem-bio facility," said the official, who asked not to be identified.

If confirmed, the find would be the first hard evidence of an alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programme that was the primary justification of the US-led invasion of Iraq.
