FALLUJAH III

According to the U.S. Defense Department, the Fallujah III castor oil production plant is situated on a large complex with a historical connection to Iraq's chemical weapons program. The coalition bombed Fallujah during Desert Storm in 1991 and again during Desert Fox in 1998. This imagery shows that the Iraqis have rebuilt Fallujah and that the facility is active again - making castor oil for brake fluid, according to Iraq. However, residue from the castor-oil bean pulp can be used in the production of the biological agent ricin.
