US Troops Capture Chemical Plant

Some interesting war news: "It wasn't immediately clear exactly which chemicals were being produced here, but clearly the Iraqis tried to camouflage the facility so it could not be photographed aerially, by swathing it in sand-cast walls to make it look like the surrounding desert." The plant is located in An Najaf, which can be found south of Baghdad on this map.

Update: 06:59 pm - The Jerusalem Post website this story originally appeared on is getting hammered since CNN repeated JPost's scoop on air. A local archive of the story is here.
