Details to come. From a link provided by Command Post, this announcement appears to be related to this discovery from last week. Perhaps it is confirmation that WMD were found. We'll see soon enough.
To put the WMD search into perspective, there's this tidbit from ABC News:
As the fighting in Iraq winds down, American forces are stepping up the search for the chemical and biological weapons the United States accuses Saddam's government of having stashed away. So far, no caches of weapons of mass destruction have been confirmed in Iraq, military officials said Sunday.
U.S. forces have a list of 2,000 to 3,000 sites in Iraq that need to be checked, and weapons teams are checking up to 20 sites a day, Franks said. Iraqis ranging from common people to high-ranking officials have suggested other possible hiding places to be searched, Franks and other military officials said.
"There are so many sites, we are not able to get to all of them right away," a senior Pentagon official said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity. "It's fair to say there are a lot of places U.S. forces are adding to the list."
