Comprehensive testing has confirmed the presence of the chemical weapon in the remains of a roadside bomb discovered this month in Baghdad. The bomb was made from an artillery shell designed to disperse the deadly nerve agent. The origin of the shell remains unclear, but the U.S. military is investigating it. Some analysts worry that the artillery shell may be part of a larger stockpile of Iraqi chemical weapons that insurgents can now use.
