Ijaz: Spectacular WMD Attack Planned for Iraq
Plans for a spectacular attack on coalition forces in Iraq that
would use chemical or biological weapons to kill up to 5,000 soldiers and
civilians may be well under way, Fox News Mideast analyst Mansoor Ijaz is
warning.
"I have now heard three times in the last week, from separate sources that I
have been talking to, that something big is being planned for Baghdad," Ijaz
told Fox News "Special Report" host Brit Hume on Tuesday.
"The idea that is being put forward is to kill as many as 3,000 to 5,000
people at one shot – something that would be similar to a World Trade Center
type of attack," he said.
Ijaz, who in December 2001 blew the lid off the Clinton administration's
decision not to accept multiple offers for Osama bin Laden's extradition to the
U.S., detailed the accounts of Kurdish sources, who say they intercepted a
convoy carrying suspicious cargo.
"About three days ago in the northern part of Iraq," said Ijaz, "a convoy of
trucks and jeeps and cars was brought across from Iran, where some of the
Kurdish Peshmerga [are]. ... They intercepted one of those trucks that were
carrying a large warhead that had extremely sophisticated plastic – C-4 plastic
explosives in it."
Ijaz said that once interrogated, the driver admitted that there were a total
of 30 warheads that were scheduled to be imported to Iraq from Iran.
"We are told now that somewhere between six and 12 of them may have, in fact,
been laden with chemical explosives that would be then attached to a rocket of
some sort inside Iraq that's already there in a separate convoy."
The whereabouts of both convoys is currently unknown, said Ijaz.
How credible are his sources?
"They're unimpeachable," he told Hume. "I think they've been right all
along."
