Yahoo! News - Iraq Violence Kills 5, Possible Chemical Arms Found
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - British troops said they opened fire on grenade-throwing Iraqi protesters in a clash in which at least five people were killed on Saturday, while Danish forces reported finding possible chemical weapons in southern Iraq.

Denmark said its troops had found 36 mortar shells buried in southern Iraq that initial chemical weapons tests showed could contain blister gas. The shells had been buried for at least 10 years and the site may contain another 100, it said.
