Intriguing...

The British have discovered (thanks to an informant) that there's a secret bunker beneath Chemical Ali's palace. The main complex was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1998, but the underground bunkers remained intact. One of these was then walled up and apparently deliberately flooded.

Initial tests by the Joint NBC Regiment for biological and chemical weapons have proven negative, but officers have said there could be sealed containers in there. Divers have gone in to see what they can find.


(Wow, Iain Duncan Smith has just congratulated Tony Blair on the 'most excellently executed military campaign in recent history'.)
