UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations officials found vials of dangerous chemicals, which had been removed from Iraq a decade ago, in a U.N. building in New York, but U.N. officials said on Thursday there was no danger.
The FBI was called in to help remove the substances.
The material was phosgene, a chemical warfare agent, U.N. spokeswoman Marie Okabe told a news conference.
The inspections unit said in a statement that the chemicals had been found last Friday.
The Iraqi weapons inspectors came across the material as they were closing their offices, which are housed in a building near the U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, said Ewen Buchanan, a spokesman for the inspectors.
Phosgene was used extensively during World War I as a choking agent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
That's 10 years ago, 1997, during the Clinton administration, who was very cozy with the UN leadership. Maybe someone should check Kofi's NY apartment too. Anything to say Hillary?
No, she's too busy hiding from questions about her questionable campaign fundraiser, who has fled the country. Apparently he has been a fugitive from justice for 15 years, convicted of defrauding investors. Gee, weren't your FBI files complete? Or were you only looking at investigating your political opponents?
Will you and Bill continue your holiday from history in the White House, to the detriment of the country? After all, the Clinton administration dismissed the first WTC bombing as an isolated law enforcement matter, did not take serious measures to go after Osama bin Laden, and is still lying about it.
P.S. Will Sandy "Pants" Berger be part of the next Clinton administration? What say Hillary?
