Iraq Modified Planes for Chemical Raids
(Reuters) - Iraq modified aircraft for possible chemical weapons attacks against Israeli targets before last year's U.S.-led invasion, Israel's army chief said Monday. "We identified them: drones, Tupolev-16s, and Sukhoi (aircraft)," Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon told Yediot Ahronot. "They were specially fitted for these kinds of missions - dispersing chemical weapons," he said. Yaalon said U.S. forces were able to destroy the modified aircraft on the first or second day of the war, "because we had located them."
