Iraq Survey Group

Based on Iraq Survey Group investigations, the special advisor to the director of central intelligence on Iraq s WMD reported on September 30,2004, that the Al Abud network (a network of Iraqi insurgents) attempted to produce tabun, nitrogen mustard, and ricin from late 2003 to mid 2004 (Duelfer, 2009 Iraq Survey Group, 2004). These attempts failed, but they did fill nine mortar rounds with malathion, an organophosphate insecticide.

KAMAL, HUSSEIN AL-. A son-in-law of Saddam Hussein whose 1995 defection to Jordan apparently caused Saddam Hussein to decide to admit to the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) that Iraq had pursued an offensive biological weapon (BW) program. Iraqi government officials claimed that Kamal had unilaterally overseen the program in secret without authorization. In 2004, the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) concluded that Kamal s defection resulted in a decision by Saddam Hussein to reorganize the Iraqi BW-related infrastructure. Kamal was killed immediately upon his return to Iraq, despite his having been promised clemency for his 1995 defection.
