Somebody Call Hans Blix

Looks like we finally found some Weapons of Mass Destruction:

A trace amount of sarin nerve agent leaked from a weapons
storage bunker at Anniston Army Depot in Birmingham, Alabama, but no
one was injured. Workers were conducting routine checks for leaks
Tuesday when a monitor detected the agent outside the airtight bunker
where the weapons are stored. Sarin did not escape the area, and the
concentration was not enough to hurt anyone, said Cathy Coleman, a
spokeswoman Anniston Chemical Activity, which oversees the stockpile.
Tons of munitions are stored in dirt-covered, concrete igloos at the
depot 50 miles east of Birmingham. Since 1982, the Army has found 897
leaking chemical weapons in storage at the depot, where the military is
using an incinerator to destroy the aging weapons.
