United States:  Anniston Incinerator Destroys More Than 30 Rockets in First Week

In its first week of operation, the chemical weapons incinerator at the Anniston Army Depot in Alabama destroyed more than 30 sarin-filled rockets, the Birmingham News reported Saturday (see GSN, Aug. 14).

So far, the Anniston incinerator has destroyed 32 rockets out of more than 661,000 chemical weapons stored at the depot, according to the News.  The incinerator last week was operational for three days, with maintenance problems resulting in the incinerator being shut down four times.

“Once again, this is indicative that we are starting very, very slow — being very, very cautious,” U.S. Army spokesman Mike Abrams said (Katherine Bouma, Birmingham News, Aug. 16).
