The Brains Behind Iraq's Arsenal
(Christian Science Monitor) Mark Clayton - Saddam Hussein has assembled an army of microbiologists, chemical engineers, and nuclear physicists who may reveal as much about weapons development as any search for petri dishes or aluminum tubes. Many in Hussein's weapons-development brain trust apparently got their training at universities in the U.S., Britain, and Europe. Researchers at Georgia State University in Atlanta found that from 1990 to 1999, 1,215 science and engineering Ph.Ds were granted to students from five of the seven countries listed by the U.S. State Department as sponsors of terrorism.
