Trade in products for chemical warfare
Other Names:
Ineffective control of exports of precursor chemicals for weapons Incidence:
It was reported in 1993 that BP Chemical, a US company, had a process that it was ready to license to the Iranians, who said they wanted it to produce acrylics. But the plant would also have produced hydrogen cyanide as a by-product, and that was a poison gas. The White House had stopped the deal.
