A FORMER UN weapons inspector lifts the lid on the farcical hunt for Iraq's WMDs including bogus intelligence and being shown a biological graveyard which once had enough deadly agents to wipe out the entire human race.
Rocco Casagrande told The Sun Online how he was tasked with probing Saddam Hussein’s regime from December 2002 until March 2003 – before the US launched its controversial invasion.
The American scientist, who led the UN's biological analysis laboratories, explained how “dead end” intelligence tips led his team to chicken farms which were believed to be facilities hiding scud missiles.
He said: “Every single one of those tips – which I believe were supplied mostly from the Israeli and German governments but also from the US and UK - turned out to be a complete dead end.
“We were told that one facility in a central part of Baghdad was a secret lab - but it turned out to be a residential property with shag carpet on the floor and old people watching television game shows.
“Obviously not the scene of a biological weapons programme.
“We got tips about facilities which were hiding scud missiles - but they all turned out to be chicken farms.
“We did so many of those type of inspections we had T-shirts made up that said UN Ballistic Chicken Farm Inspection Team.”
He said that while some of these tips were generated from aerial imagery, such as from satellites, other information was obviously provided by people.
Casagrande continued: “One tip we got was 'go to this academic campus - then go to this specific building.
“Go into the basement and go into the men's room and go into the last stall in that room and then there's a panel on the wall that hides a key pad.

“Push in these numbers on the key pad and the wall will move to reveal a secret weapons lab. Real James Bond-type stuff.
“But we go to that building and it doesn't even have a basement. It’s on a flat foundation and obviously never even had a basement.” …….
