 | |  | | LONDON (Dow Jones)--Iraqi documents obtained by the BBC indicate that Baghdad is equipping key units with protection against chemical weapons.
The handwritten papers smuggled out by the Iraqi opposition refer to new chemical warfare suits to protect soldiers and distribution of the drug atropine to counter the effects of nerve gas, the BBC said on its Web site Friday.
The notes, passed on by the opposition Iraqi National Coalition, also included details for attacking ships in the Gulf. The INC says the notes came from members of Baghdad's military. Iraq's Republican Guard and Special Republican
Guard are among the recipients of special suits and atropine |  |  |  |  |
