From: Eric Price <sagpd1!eprice>

 Fellow Sci.Military Netlanders,

    As of recently there have been discussions in the news group
    regarding Iraq's chemical warfare capabilities.

    I would like to know what are the status of the world's
    germ (biological) warefare arsenals (sp?).

    Are these weapons declared illegal by the Geneva convention ?

    What sort of nasty stuff is available nowadays, other than the
    standard garden variety Anthrax ?

    Enquiring minds want to know ?
