Danish troops in Iraq find shells from Iran-Iraq war
Baghdad — Danish and Icelandic troops have uncovered a cache of 36 shells buried in the Iraqi desert, and preliminary tests indicted they may contain a liquid blister agent, the Danish military said Saturday.
The 120-millimetre mortar shells were thought to be leftovers from the eight-year war between Iraq and neighbouring Iran, which ended in 1988, said U.S. Brig.-Gen. Mark Kimmitt.
