(New York Post)Deborah Orin - The U.S. expert heading the weapons hunt in Iraq Thursday said he's worried that terrorists like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are trying to get chemical weapons to use against U.S. troops. "We want to follow that very, very closely. I mean, this is one bad actor [Zarqawi]. And if he gets his hands on it, he'll use it," said Charles Duelfer, a former UN weapons inspector. Duelfer also said his team has now found 10 or 12 chemical-weapon rounds armed with sarin and mustard gas. Until now, only a few chemical rounds had been reported.
