(BBC) - ISG teams discovered clandestine laboratories and found live botulinum toxin - which could be used to make biological weapons - at an Iraqi scientist's home. Plans were discovered for missiles capable of flying up to 1,000 km (625 miles) - well beyond the 150 km range limit (93 miles) set by the UN. There were also alleged contacts with North Korea to obtain missile technology. Kay said additional information was beginning to corroborate reports of human testing activities using chemical and biological substances. Kay said Iraqi scientists and former government officials had told investigators Saddam Hussein "remained firmly committed to acquiring nuclear weapons."
