#1 Articles taken from Yahoo Breaking News:
Papers in chem.plant written in English,Arabic, and Cyrilic.
Cruise missles found with Cyrilic stencils painted on them,crates containing rpg's with Wallop Industries Limited stencilled on the side.These weapons were found by Royal Marines!

Sounds like a definate link between Russia and Iraqi WMD programs.Also did a Google on Wallop(didn't click on the links)it appears to be a British weapons manufacturer.

What the hell is a British arms manufacturer doing selling weapons to Iraq?
Wonder how they feel about Royal Marines being killed with Wallop provided weapons?

#2 Hey, this must be wrong. The Russians Deny Selling Iraq Weapons, this is from the article posted about 10 articles up.

#3 Raptor, Wallop industries are based in Middle Wallop, Hertfordshire (I think), England. Seems no doubt that's genuine. Yesterday I read the crates were marked with what I assumed to be the year "80". It's not good news, but we still don't know whether these things came direct from the UK anyway. At least this might lessen the cries of "evidence fabrication" - it would be far, far better to be able to say they were French, German or Russian-made.

#4 Don't worry, Bulldog. Before this is over, they'll find plenty of that crap too.
