Iraqi germarms in U.K.?

LONDON, SEPT. 9. Iraqi spies are posing as refugees to smuggle germ weapons into Britain, a leading daily said here today.

The threat emerged after an international spy operation found that the Iraqi President, Mr. Saddam Hussein, is promoting the production of large amounts of `anthrax' which he is actively trying to market to terrorists, The Sunday Express said.

According to the report, during an eight-month intelligence mission by the British internal security agency, MI5, and CIA officers tracked Mr. Saddam's agents to meetings in the Balkans with members of the Basque group ETA and equally fanatical terror groups in Kosovo and Macedonia.
