You may be aware that from 1997 I have had the acquaintance of the convicted serial murderer Charles Sobhraj. The Iraq war happened in March 2003. Completely unrelatedly, I was, soon after, writing a screenplay which involved Red Mercury and Sobhraj’s query came to mind. I called Charles and asked him to whom he had sold the Red Mercury. If Iraqi negotiators were buying nuclear triggers before the Iraq war, then it’s possible that Saddam was stocking, or preparing to stock, WMD!
