Under Doctor Coker’s leadership, what is now known to have been the last remnants of chemical weapons (artillery shells containing mustard gas) were destroyed at First Rate (at Lloyd's) Muthanna State Establishment (Iraq"s former chemical weapons facility) - the shells were apparently part of an old stock pile remaining from prior to the first Gulf War.
