CHEMICAL RAID?

U.S. troops at the chemicals storehouse which exploded in Baghdad appeared to have included members of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) hunting for weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Witnesses said at least one of those in the raiding party was wearing what looked like a chemical warfare suit. Residents showed Reuters at the scene two ISG identity cards and two aerial photographs of the targeted house and adjacent buildings marked "secret." The photographs bore the ISG logo.

Witnesses said the building blew up when about 12 U.S. soldiers tried to break in. The troops then left in those vehicles not burned out in the blast, evacuating at least one apparently dead body and four wounded Iraqis.

"There was a huge ball of fire and I was thrown to the ground," said Imad Hashim, a local resident.

There was no sign of special precautions being taken against contamination in the wake of the blast.

A spokesman for the occupying forces said only: "We are aware of an explosion which took place in Baghdad this morning. There are no reports of coalition casualties at this time."

The United States set up the ISG last year after toppling Saddam. It has yet to report finding any of the weapons which were a key argument for the U.S. and British invasion.
