For anyone keeping score, this is five people that have died as a direct reult of "Saddam-has-chemical-weapons" fear-mongering with not a single case yet of someone actually dying of an attack (outside of attacks on Iraqis and Iranians in the 90's and 80's).

Also note that there have been several people who have died as a direct result of the smallpox vaccination and none who have died of the disease itself.

Two Israelis die in room sealed against chemical attack JERUSALEM - Two elderly Israeli Arab sisters were found dead Monday in a room they had sealed against a possible Iraqi chemical missile attack, and Israeli police said they were checking whether the women suffocated.

It would be the second case of its kind involving a sealed room. A mother and her two teenage sons, also Israeli Arabs, were found dead in similar circumstances two weeks ago.
