Fallujah 2 chemical weapons plant ^top^

David Leigh reveals in the Guardian today that Falluja 2, a chemical plant the CIA identified as a key component in Iraq's chemical warfare arsenal, was secretly built by a Britsih company in 1985 with backing from the ECGD. British taxpayers paid £300,000 in compensation to the German-owned company after final checks on the plant, completed in May 1990, were interrupted by the outbreak of the Gulf war.

More information on ECGD loans here (doc) and in the SPEAK campaigning brief (part 1 - pdf, part 2 - pdf)
