American and Iraqi troops found, and in multiple cases, were injured by
aged and degraded stockpiles of chemical weapons in Iraq... The US
withheld information about the discoveries as those weapons were
manufactured in the 1980s when the US and its allies were actively
supplying chemical agents to Saddam Hussein’s regime during the
Iraq-Iran war... The investigation also said that some of those
US-manufactured chemical weapons were now likely in the hands of ISIL
terrorists.
