OMG! OMG! WMDs! WMDs!!!!!

Whoops, never mind:

Tests of chemicals removed from the offices of United Nations came back negative for the deadly nerve gas phosgene, two law enforcement sources told WNBC.com.

The tests were done at a U.S. military lab over the weekend and apparently show the chemicals are not lethal as first feared.

Officials did not say what lab officials now believe the specific chemical breakdown of the substance is. They said more testing still needs to be done.

A U.N. spokesman said the agency is still awaiting final test results, but added that it appears there was no danger at any time. The spokesman said an internal review of the incident will soon be underway....


The UN ID'd the chemical as phosgene last week. For scaring the crap out of the public at the best possible time, the White House says to the UN, "Thanks, guys!"
