Some newspapers want to verify news before they post it.

Very interesting, I'm looking forward to more on this story.

It's an AP news story...and don't even bring that up, we all know how well the NY Times performs its "fact checking."

Fox probably will, they are the only non-liberal news source nowadays.

Kuwait foils smuggling of chemicals, bio warheads from Iraq
Associated Press
Kuwait City, October 2



Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said on Wednesday.
The pro-Government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It did not say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.

The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but did not say when.

Government officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met on Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990.

Wait a second...

The quantity being smuggled is given as $60 million dollars worth?
There's a market where there is a price affixed to such goods? That tips me off that the story isn't very accurate...

Think about it... $60 million dollars worth of computer chips... has a meaning.
$60 million dollars worth of Bio Weapons? What's that?!?

This story is meaningless to me until a major news network picks it up. We've seen this before; if CNN, fox, reuters, bbc, etc. have nothing to say about it it's not true

Stretch both your arms out really wide like you are carrying a huge box. It's more than that.

I know it reads like that, but if you think I'm going to really lend credence to a MAJOR story (because this is one) posted on only http://www.hindustantimes.com, and not on a real worldwide news network, you got another thing coming. I'd hold a similar opinino of Heebeyjeeby news network, islamabhad news network, and alquedaweekly news.
