| Russian deputy foreign minister warns about Iraqi WMD |
| 2004-06-24 |
| Components of weapons of mass destruction possibly remaining in Iraq could fall into the hands of Al- Qaeda terrorists acting on Iraqi territory, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Yury Fedotov told Interfax on Thursday. "It is difficult to ascertain that the previous Iraqi regime had links with Al-Qaeda. At the same time, it is obvious that Iraq has become an appealing magnet for terrorists of every kind, and Al-Qaeda is feeling quite comfortable in Iraq now. Therefore, the threat that components and materials which may possibly remain in Iraq could fall into the hands of international terrorists is quite high," Fedotov said. This is why "it is so important to completely clarify Iraq’s disarmament dossier," the deputy minister said. |

| #4 Sounds like ass-covering to me... Probably. There's never been a satisfactory explanation from Russia why 'retired' generals made a trip to Baghdad during the UN meetings. Maybe not all the programs and materiel they recommended be disposed of, was. |

| #3 After that offensive in a neighboring province, Russia is afraid the next step is WMD. It's a valid fear, considering many Jihadi's go to Chechneya to train and gain experience. |

| #2 Can Russia be waking up to the fact that some of Saddam's WMD's could end up in Checnya, even Moscow? |
