'Suspected chemical weapons found'

The Pentagon has said that US forces in Iraq have found suspected chemical weapons believed to contain banned substances, including nerve agents.
Samples are now expected to be taken to the US for further tests.
Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division made the discovery on Sunday night.
Major Michael Hamlet said the initial tests revealed levels of nerve agents sarin and tabun and the blister agent lewisite.
The troops also found gas masks and chemical suits at the military complex.
They were discovered at the camp in Albu Mahawish, on the Euphrates river between Karbala and Hilla.
Major Hamlet said: "If tests from our experts confirm this, this could be the smoking gun. It would prove Saddam Hussein has the weapons we have said he has all along - but right now we just don't know."
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld cautioned that it would be some time before all the tests were completed.
"We have to take our time and look at it," he said.
"It takes days to get samples of things from wherever they are in the battlefield into the first place where they take a look and then a second place where they get checked.
"The prudent thing in a case like this is to let the thing play itself out. We'll eventually know."
