Soldiers searching an abandoned community hall in Baghdad have found something very interesting: U.S. Forces May Have Found WMD Documents.
About 50 soldiers from the 1st Armored Division stormed the building at about 1 a.m. after sealing off part of Baghdad’s Azamiyah district — a center of support for Saddam’s ousted regime. The neighborhood was where Saddam — or someone presenting himself as the Iraqi leader — last appeared in public before the capture of Baghdad was completed April 9.

Soldiers examining the papers by flashlight with an Arabic interpreter found many of them marked “top secret” and “personal.” They loaded dozens of boxes of paper files and some of the electronics into vehicles and took them away.
