Hi!

Here's some info:

"Kirkuk :: Jim Muir :: 1827GMT

The city's been taking a very heavy pounding in the last 24 hours. I say the city, I mean of course the military targets that they're aiming at around it.

The Iraqis have left a whole string of defensive positions which were simply abandoned. But also, we found a very large military complex. The most interesting pair of buildings we found there side by side, were in fact the command positions for the chemical units of the Iraqi Fifth Infantry Division.

That was interesting to see. We've always known that the Iraqi army had chemical units built into it's system. That's not to say they're carrying chemical weapons with them, and ready to use them."
