> TEHRAN (MNA) - The UAE-based daily Al-Khaleej
> reported on Monday that Kuwaiti tariff officials have
> intercepted a truck loaded with radioactive materials
> in the Iraq-Kuwait border.
>
> The daily quoted informed sources as saying that the
> radioactive control team from Kuwaits Health Ministry
> discovered that one of the trucks belonging to the
> U.S.-led coalition forces was carrying heavy cargo of
> radioactive materials. The trucks were headed for Iraq.
>
> The daily said that such materials could only enter a
> country when there is permission from related bodies
> while the materials were secretly being carried to Iraq.
>
> Security forces stressed that no contamination had
> been caused by the material.
>
> The MNA reported for the first time the coalition
> forces suspicious transfer of WMD parts from
> Kuwait to Southern Iraq by trucks.
>
> The possible presence of WMD in Iraq and its likely
> nuclear programs were the main U.S. pretext for
> attacking the country.
>
> However, their failure to find weapons of mass
> destruction in the country and the continuing
> turmoil in Iraq questioned the legitimacy of the
> U.S. war against Iraq and their presence in the
> country.
