WASHINGTON � Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has stored munitions, including biological and chemical weapons, in bunkers underneath several mosques in Iraq, U.S. officials told WorldNetDaily.
While officials say the mosques have not been targeted for destruction, they say that special-operations forces plan to inspect the underground bunkers along with Saddam's palace bunkers.
"We know for a fact that he's got bombs, grenades and NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) stuff under quite a few of his mosques," said a U.S. intelligence official.
