subway (unfinished)/WMD storage
Turban Legend or Hideout for WMD?
When you're taking that leisurely vacation in Baghdad, don't forget to check out the uncompleted subway. Remember to bring your Geiger counter and antibiotics. If you're really lucky, you might bump into that fun-loving "you know who". Despite rumours in 1999 that the proiject would be revived, nothing materielized.

A story about the uncompleted Baghdad tunnels
According to
this site, "Saddam has a masterful network of
underground tunnels
under Baghdad,
originally built to be a subway
system. Located above this network are civilian neighborhoods and religious
centers which the Americans will not presently bomb. Presently Hussein uses
this as Iraqi intelligence headquarters and as the location for many military
command centers. Now, this underground network will also conceal the facilities
to build missiles and launchers. "
