Particular attention should be given to containers of any size holding liquids with specific characteristics

Particular attention should be given to containers of any size holding liquids with specific characteristics."The Iraqis are believed to be holding - and hiding - a number of deadly chemical and biological materials, including VX nerve agents, anthrax, plague, botulinum toxin and aflatoxin, all of which are highly lethal in the most minute doses.The US Office of Technology Assessment has estimated that a small plane flying over Washington with 22lb of anthrax spores could release an invisible mist that could kill as many as 3 million people.Mike O'Brien, a Home Office Minister, told ITN's News at Ten last night that there had been previous warnings of a threat "We step up intelligence when they occur. But we do not believe there is cause for alarm."Last week the Home Office warned all police and customs authorities: "Iraq may launch chemical or biological attack using material disguised as harmless fluids. However, there is no evidence that this plot has been implemented; simply that a threat may have been made Obviously, that has to be taken seriously. Last night the Prime Minister's office said all ports and airports had been formally warned the Iraqis might try to smuggle chemical or biological warfare material - disguised as harmless liquid - into the country, perhaps as duty-free. After details of the warning were carried in a newspaper, No 10 said: "We can confirm that an all-ports warning has been circulated and the document on which The Sun report is based is authentic. The anthrax could be disguised as duty-free liquor or perfume.

The threat of a "backdoor" terrorist attack by President Saddam in retaliation for any strikes the US or Britain might yet mount against the Iraqi regime has been discussed by intelligence and defence services since the time of the 1991 Gulf war - and before. An all-ports terrorist alert has been issued after warnings of a plot by President Saddam Hussein of Iraq to smuggle anthrax into the UK for possible attacks, the Prime Minister's office confirmed last night. I wasn't born like this and obviously I do miss my arm, yet sometimes the phantom pain makes me feel whole again."n "After Image", sponsored by Wellcome Trust, will be at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, High Street, Oxford, from 20 April to 8 May.. I am not aware of the wrist at all, but I can move the fingers"In the accident she was aware that her engagement ring cut into her finger and, she says the ring is still there."At first I used to get quite uptight that I must be crazy because I was imagining a hand; but it is so definite that nobody can convince me that it is just in my mind. She describes her phantom: "When the pain increases it seems to be larger; it is definitely heavier than a normal limb. I can open and close my hand, and this helps to ease the pain ...

I might wish it wasn't so irritating, but I think I would rather keep it as it is than risk losing it."The woman with her large phantom hand was also involved in a road accident in which she lost her hand. It also itches much of the time and wants to scratch it.He said: "I can't imagine being without the phantom because it is there all the time and it is very like eating or breathing: I can put up with it quite adequately and would probably miss it if it went away. X-rays showed his arm was severely damaged, but the hand was left in tact His hand is still painful, mostly in the third finger. The authenticity of the photographic image is questioned in this work, as is the authenticity of body image."In these photographs, Ms Wright addresses the vexing fact that while the people in the images regard the phantom as part of themselves - because they can feel it - everyone else believes that the person's being stops at their stump.Phantom limbs - the experience of persisting sensory perceptions after limb amputation - remains one of the best known yet most puzzling medical phenomena and is experienced by 70 to 100 per cent of amputees.The man photographed with his phantom hand on the table was injured in a car accident in which his arm was crushed. "For the first time in my work 'the body' is that of a specific individual, whose subjective reality is represented within the context of their daily lives. "After Image", a collection of digitally manipulated photographs which visualise the subjective experience of amputee's phantom limbs, is the culmination of her work."My recent work with amputees uses the genre of portraiture to expand upon my previous investigations of the relationship between body and soul," she said.
