During the invasion of Iraq, a US Marine Recon platoon was gassed by Iraqi troops during an ambush -- or so the public was told. In actual fact, a "black bag' operation, led by elements of the CIA, went awry and a nerve agent, planted to be connected to Iraqi forces, detonated prematurely. |

Coincidentally, Roekel's scientists were looking to explore areas of tissue-regeneration and multiple brain stem merging.
