Looks like they won't

A couple days ago, I posted a entry titled "Will they or won't they" about the latest suspected chemical weapons "discovery" in Iraq. As has been the case each time, thus far, futher tests showed that the materials found aren't chemical weapons after all. ABC News.com has the scoop:

Chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons specialists from the Army's 5th Corps examined the unmarked barrels found near Bayji, about 130 miles north of Baghdad, and tentatively concluded that there were no chemical weapons there, the leader of the team told a New York Times reporter embedded with the team.

"Our tests showed no positive hits at all," Capt. Ryan Cutchin, the leader of Mobile Exploitation Team Bravo told the Times.

The suspect site also included missiles, warheads and vehicles that were suspected to be mobile laboratories for banned weapons, but Cutchin said the vehicles were "probably for decontamination or some kind of fuel filling, consistent with the rockets found at the site."

Using high-tech gear unavailable to experts from another Army squad, Mobile Exploration Team (MET) Bravo - whose preliminary tests over the weekend identified a nerve agent and a blister agent - tests came up negative.

The investigators searching for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have been frustrated by a lack of information and say they are understaffed and under-equipped.
