Iraq WMD’s Found — At UN Headquarters!

Ok, so that’s a bit over the top compared to the actual facts, but I got your attention, didn’t I?

The story is just being reported:

Vials of dangerous chemicals believed originating from Iraq were discovered Thursday in the world headquarters of the United Nations in the heart of New York City.

No evacuations were ordered, and there was no immediate danger to the public, according to a U.N. spokesman.

Hazardous materials personnel were reported at the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission offices at 48th Street and 1st Avenue in Manhattan.

1010 WINS in NY has additional information:

Authorities said the nerve gas phosgene was believed to have been discovered in Iraq and manufactured prior to 1991. Former U.N. weapons inspectors told ABCNews.com that vials of phosgene had also been used by inspectors in Iraq to help calibrate air sampling instruments.

The remaining vials were supposed to have been destroyed, according to former inspectors. “If it is properly sealed, it should not pose much of a threat unless it is dropped,” said former New York City emergency services director Jerry Hauer.
“They need to get it out of there and put it in a safe canister,” Hauer said.

More if there is any further development.
