British Spy's Intel Was Based On 'The Rock,' According To Chilcot Report
A British spy may have lifted a scene from the action flick The Rock when he created a phony description of chemical weapons in Iraq, according to a new report.
The secret agent told intelligence honchos that terrorists carried mind-melting toxic gasses in “linked hollow glass spheres" in 2002, the Chilcot report revealed Wednesday. But officials learned he was lying because his account sounded — suspiciously — like one featured in the awesomely hokey 90s movie, according to the report.
In real life, that’s rarely how chemical weapons are carried, according to the UK Mirror, which posted an excerpt of the 6,200 page report.
“Glass containers were not typically used in chemical munitions; a popular movie [The Rock] has inaccurately depicted nerve agents being carried in glass beads or spheres,” it states.
