Now isn't this just desperate scraping of the barrel? Now call me a doubting Thomas but if they were there wouldn't we have found them by now?

A new dossier on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction is being prepared by MI6, it has been reported.

According to the Economist magazine, the document will contain claims of an extensive biological weapons programme based on evidence from Iraqi scientists.

The publication quotes "Whitehall sources" - a term often used for government insiders - as saying spy chiefs will tell Prime Minister Tony Blair that there was a conspiracy in Iraq to disguise the extent of its chemical and biological weapons programme.

The report will be seen in some quarters as an attempt to offset government embarrassment that no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq.
