Look what they found in the Iraqi Embassy in London...

Not surprising, given the nature of Saddam's regime.

POLICE are carrying out tests on a cache of weapons found in a safe at the old Iraqi Embassy in London to uncover any possible links with assassination plots by the former Saddam Hussein regime. The weapons, including four machineguns, ten hand guns with four silencers and 600 rounds of ammunition, half of which were used cartridges, were discovered by Salah al-Shaikhly, the post-Saddam Iraqi Ambassador.

He had to employ authorised “safe-crackers” to open the safe. Also found were all the trappings of espionage, including bugging devices and telescopic cameras; and electric cattle-prods, suitable for crowd control or torture.

“You really despair when you have this kind of arsenal kept at the Iraq Embassy,” Dr al-Shaikhly said. As soon as the weapons were found he called in Scotland Yard and handed them over for investigation.
