Well, there are a couple of reports about it. The general feeling seems to be that one shell does not an arsenal make.

The thoughts are that it is a shell that was left over from Iran / Iraq war that the locals found but didn't actually know what was in it.

I don't think anyone is going to claim that this represents an arsenal. In fact i think if they do claim then they are admitting to a bigger problem - that a set of imported terrorists amanged to locate WMD, which is something we haven't managed, and that those WMD are now potentially scattered around a much larger region in less controlled hands than under Saddam. Something that is the polar opposite of the WMD related aims of this war.

Therefore i don't think either side want to claim it as the smoking gun.
