She is Rihab Taha, an unassuming British-trained scientist who has been identified by United Nations arms inspectors as the driving force behind Iraq's development of a weapons stockpile that, at least in the past, contained gallons of some of the most lethal germ agents known to mankind.
And Taha -- who burst into tears and threw chairs the last time she was questioned by U.N. personnel -- is likely high on the list of individuals the newly arrived crew of inspectors wants to interview again.
According to former inspectors, Iraqi defectors and bioweapon analysts, Taha's expertise was in tobacco diseases but she was tapped to be a scientist at the newly opened al-Muthanna weapons research center north of Baghdad.

 Iraqi Scientists Dumped Anthrax Near One of Saddam's Palaces
Rihab Rashid Taha was concerned about coming forward in the buildup to the Iraq war about the location of the missing anthrax.
The microbiologist’s dilemma, she has told U.S. interrogators, was that her team 12 years earlier had destroyed the lethal bacteria by dumping it practically at the gates of one of Saddam’s main palaces, and the feared Iraqi despot might grow enraged at news of anthrax on his doorstep.
The British-educated Taha, who ran the Hakam complex in the 1980s, told interrogators her staff carted off anthrax from Hakam in April 1991 and stored it in a bungalow near the presidential palace at Radwaniyah, 20 miles west of Baghdad, the U.S. teams report.
