CIA Document Suggests U.S. Lied About Biological, Chemical Weapon Use in the Korean War According to a declassified CIA document, the U.S. government lied publicly about pushing for a United Nations investigation into Soviet, Chinese and North Korean charges of U.S. use of biological weapons during the Korean War. The reason the U.S. didn't want any investigation was because an "actual investigation" would reveal military operations, including "8th Army preparations or operations (e.g. chemical warfare)."
