They had Mustard gas.... it is not so difficult to manufacture..... nor is it very difficult to destroy the evidence afterwords..... the iranians would have had to cross miles of Iraqi air space to dump the payloads.... they would not have made it a mile....
Witness accounts from both brothers I work with suggest that what happened was Iraqi planes dumped the payloads and a day or so afterwards troops mobilized into the towns effected and rounded up some of the survivors to keep them quiet by killing them..... this is why thier uncle was kidnapped and murdered... he was very vocal about witnessing the gassing.....
