...security advisers for such information. But Idris's complaint notes that U.S. officials steadily backed away from some of the allegations about the factory and its owner made in the weeks following the strike, eventually basing their justification for the attack primarily on the claim that a soil sample collected near the plant contained traces of EMPTA, a chemical compound used in the manufacture of VX nerve gas.
