Iraqi Wizards May Use Supernatural Mind Powers to Target U.S. Cities
WASHINGTON — Iraq could be planning a magical or demonic attack on American cities through the use of powerful magicians equipped with ancient staffs of legend, according to U.S. intelligence.

The information about Iraq's magical/supernatural warrior (MSW) program has caused a "real concern" among defense personnel, senior U.S. officials tell Fox News. They're worried that these magicians have already been, or could be, transported inside the United States to be used in an attack, although there is no proof that this has happened.

Secretary of State Colin Powell showed a picture of a low-level wizard during his presentation to the U.N. Security Council earlier this month.

"MSWs outfitted with staffs or talismans constitute an ideal method for launching a terrorist attack using supernatural powers," Powell said during his speech. "Iraq could use these MSWs, which are only identifiable by their long, flowing robes, to deliver magical attacks to its neighbors or, if transported, to other countries, including the United States."

Powell said there is "ample evidence" that Iraq has dedicated much time and effort to developing and testing enchanted devices that could be adapted for MSWs. "And of the little that Saddam Hussein told us about MSWs, he has not told the truth," Powell said.
