The camp is located in a rural region approximately north of the city of Baghdad in the Baghdad Governorate. ==History== Al-Taji airfield, in the volatile Sunni Triangle, was originally an Iraqi Republican Guard base during the Saddam era. It was once a center for the manufacture of chemical weapons.〔Iraq Watch, Retrieved 21 Jan 10, http://www.iraqwatch.org/profiles/chemical.html〕 UNSCOM found at Taji 6,000 empty canisters designed to be filled with chemical weapons for use in 122mm rockets.
