Iraqi civilians walk through damage to a market in Baghdad, Iraq, March 29. Iraqis said an air raid on a Baghdad market on Friday
evening killed dozens of civilians.

Franks called the facility used by
the militant group Ansar al-Islam
“massive” and said ground forces
were searching it Sunday. Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said it
comprised dozens of sites, including
tunnels and bunkers.
“We have destroyed a major por
tion of it. We’ve killed a large num
ber of terrorists,” Rumsfeld said on
the Fox New Sunday program.
“We know that... they were devel
oping toxins and poisons in that area.
We know that al-Qaida was connect
ed to it... W$’re not certain what we’ll
find, but we should know more in the
next three days, three or four days.”
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on
CNN that he believed the camp was
used to develop a biological toxin,
ricin, traces of which were discov
ered earlier this year in London.
In another troubling sign that Iraq
might be preparing to use chemical
weapons, Marines raided a building
used by Iraq’s 11th Infantry Division
inside An Nasiriyah and found more
than 300 chemical suits and gas
masks, as well as injectors of the
nerve gas antidote atropine, the U.S.
Central Command said Sunday.
Marines also seized more than
800 rocket-propelled grenades, 300
mortar shells and more than 17,000
rounds for rifles and machine guns.
In the besieged southern Iraqi
city of Basra, British Royal Marine
commandos killed a Republican
Guard colonel whom they suspect
l
was sent to Basra to invigorate pro
Saddam forces there, according to
British Group Gapt. A1 Lockwood.
Initially, the British military re
ported that it also had captured an
Iraqi general in Basra, but later Sun
day British military spokesman Will
MacKinlay told BBC television that
the report was wrong, attributing
the mistake to “the fog of war.”
Elsewhere, Britain’s 16th Air As
sault Brigade captured the Baath
Party’s number two official for the
Rumaila region.
Three U.S. Marines were killed
Sunday when their UH-1 Huey heli
copter crashed at a forward supply
and refueling site in Southern Iraq.
Two others also were killed Sunday,
one struck by a Humvee during a
firefight, the other drowned when
his Humvee rolled into a canal.
At Gamp Udari in Kuwait, a man
in civilian clothes driving a stolen
white pickup truck plowed through
throngs of soldiers as they waited in
line at a post store, injuring 15. He
was shot and critically wounded
when he ignored orders from mili
tary police to stop.
The driver was identified only as
a third-party national, meaning he
is neither American nor Kuwaiti.
“We heard his engine revving and
he veered to the left and luckily I
went right,” said Maj. Lora Elliott,
an historian with the 101st Air
borne Division. “He was fishtailing,
he accelerated so hard.”
The incident came just a day after
a suicide bomber killed himself and
four Americans in Iraq, and amid
threats of a wave of such attacks in
"He was fishtailing, he
accelerated so hard"

Iraq and in the United States.
Sunday night the Defense Depart
ment identified the four U.S. sol
diers killed in the Saturday suicide
bomb attack as:
• Pfc. Michael Russell Creighton
Weldon, 20, of Conyers, Ga.
• Spc. Michael Edward Curtin,
23, of South Plains, N.J.
• Pfc. Diego Fernando Rincon, 19,
of Conyers, Ga.
• Sgt. Eugene Williams, 24, of
Highland, N.Y.
All four were assigned to the 27th
Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort
Stewart, Ga.
Iraqi television reported that Hus
sein posthumously honored the Sat
urday bomber and that his family
has been awarded $34,000.
“This is just the beginning,” said
Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ra
madan. “The day will come when a
single martyrdom operation will kill
5,000 enemies.”
