NEW YORK, Aug 9: The two laboratory trailers found in Iraq produced hydrogen for weather balloons and not illegal weapons, intelligence analysts told The New York Times in a report published on Saturday.

The Defence Intelligence Agency experts contradicted a document released on May 28 by the DIA and the Central Intelligence Agency, saying that the trailers were used to produce biological weapons.

“The team has decided that, in their minds, there could be another use for inefficient hydrogen production, most likely for balloons,” a Defense Department official told the Times.—AFP
