Three to four liters of sarin gas in Iraq shell

FoxNews.com is reporting that tests have confirmed that the artillery shell recently found contained sarin. Excerpt:

Tests of the artillery shell that detonated in Iraq on Saturday have confirmed that it did in fact contain an estimated three or four liters of the deadly sarin (search) nerve agent, Defense officials told Fox News Tuesday.

The artillery shell was left as a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said Monday. Two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to the nerve agent when the 155-mm shell exploded before it could be rendered inoperable. Three liters is about three-quarters of a gallon; four liters is roughly a gallon.

There is now an ongoing debate as to how serious this is. Of interest is whether the people who rigged it up to be a roadside bomb knew it contained sarin. Some speculate they simple didn't know as there are so many weapons laying around all over Iraq that they just used something they found in some munitions cache. This of course leads to the question of how many more are hidden out there?

I wonder if the Fox News story has been confirmed by other news sources?

Stay tuned.
