"Germany was 'key supplier' of Saddam supplier

John Hooper in Berlin and Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington

The Guardian

Iraq has identified Germany as the country whose companies did most to help Baghdad in its drive to acquire weapons of mass destruction, said a German newspaper yesterday.
The leftwing Berlin daily, die tageszeitung, said it had obtained a copy of part of the document handed by Baghdad to the UN earlier this month which supplied details of its weapons programmes. The extract included a list of foreign companies, of which more than half - 80 - were German.

It was also said to contain the names of several private and state research laboratories as well as numerous individuals from Germany.

Die tageszeitung said the list featured British companies, too, although it did not say how many or name them.

It said there were 24 companies from the US - the second-highest tally. "

"According to a 1994 Senate report, private American suppliers, licensed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, exported a witch's brew of biological and chemical materials to Iraq from 1985 through 1989. Among the biological materials, which often produce slow, agonizing death, were:

• Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax.
• Clostridium Botulinum, a source of botulinum toxin.
• Histoplasma Capsulatam, cause of a disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord, and heart.
• Brucella Melitensis, a bacteria that can damage major organs.
• Clostridium Perfringens, a highly toxic bacteria causing systemic illness.
• Clostridium tetani, a highly toxigenic substance."

"THE IRAQI BACTERIOLOGICL PROGRAM

In the meantime the USA continued to supply Iraq with technology and substances (precursors) to be used in synthesis of components for chemical warfare (nerve gas VX) as well as pathogenic agents to be used in bacteriological warfare.

According to the Report of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the US Senate, the United States exported pathogenic agents for biological warfare to Iraq until November 28, 1989. But the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent Senator Donald Reigle _ author of the report - a list "of all the biological agents, including viruses, retroviruses, bacteria, and funguses sent by the CDC to the Iraqi government from October 1984 to October 13, 1993," i.e., two years after the end of the Gulf War.4 "
