Iraqi biological weapons program : ウィキペディア英語版 | Iraqi biological weapons program
Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) initiated an extensive biological weapons (BW) program in Iraq in the early 1980s, in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) of 1972. Details of the BW program — along with a chemical weapons program — surfaced only in the wake of the Gulf War (1990–91) following investigations conducted by the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) which had been charged with the post-war disarmament of Saddam's Iraq. By the end of the war, program scientists had investigated the BW potential of five bacterial strains, one fungal strain, five types of virus, and four toxins.〔Zilinskas, Raymond A. (1999), "Iraq's Biological Warfare Program: The Past as Future?", Chapter 8 in: Lederberg, Joshua (editor), ''Biological Weapons: Limiting the Threat'' (1999), The MIT Press, pg 138.〕 Of these, three — anthrax, botulinum and aflatoxin — had proceeded to weaponization for deployment.〔Zilinskas (1999), ''Op. cit.'', pg 143.〕 Because of the UN disarmament program that followed the war, more is known today about the once-secret bioweapons program in Iraq than that of any other nation. ==The program==
