2 Japanese and Chinese weapons experts prepare to examine poison gas shells in a pit at Luquan in northern China's Hebei province Friday Sept. 12, 2003. Japanese and Chinese experts spent Friday dismantling some of a stockpile of 52 poison gas shells that were found in 1991. The shells are part of an estimated 700,000 artillery shells, bombs and other weapons loaded with chemical agents left in China after World War II.
