*'''15 October.''' ''New York Times'' reports the United States discovered the [[weapons of mass destruction]] in [[Iraq]]. American troops repeatedly encountered, and on at least six occasions were wounded by, chemical weapons. American troops reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs. "Troops and officers were instructed to be silent or give deceptive accounts of what they had found," Times reporter C.J. Chivers writes. [[Sarin]] was found.

The Times documents a number of incidents in which Americans were made ill by chemical agents, given inadequate treatment, and told not to discuss their experiences. At least one large stash of the weapons now has come into the control of [[ISIS]] forces.<ref>
