Saddam continues to refer to his chemical weapons as "special equipment", just as was done during the chemical attacks on the Kurds in 1987.
This document reveals continuing efforts to hide or destroy all files relating to WMD's and the translation provides a list of witnesses all attesting to such destruction.
It was around the time of this document's date that Iraq was facing renewed U.N. inspections by Hans Blix and company. One can conclude that this flurry of destructive activity was done to continually cover any tracks of an ongoing program of WMD's.

Memos in document CMPC-2003-002284 that are dated in June and August 2002 present another great evidence of Saddam Regime deceptions to hide his WMD programs and this time by destroying the WMD files or hiding them in a secure location. Saddam knew that summer that the UN inspectors are coming back to Iraq so he ordered these actions hoping that he will fool them, and he did fool Hans Blix and company.
