What is Known about Iraq’s Biological Weapons Program — Could it be the Source of America’s Anthrax Attack?

October 29, 2001 | Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi

None of these implications are correct. The statement stands in marked contrast to the past understanding shown by President Bush that placed the burden of cease-fire implementation on Palestinian Authority head Yasser Arafat.
