Wait. Rewind that.

"Washington—Sunni extremists in Iraq have occupied what was once Saddam Hussein's premier chemical-weapons production facility, a complex that still contains a stockpile of old weapons, State Department and other U.S. government officials said."

But I thought Saddam didn't have any chemical weapons?

Of course, we do have satellite photos of trucks swarming and leaving those weapons factories in the months before the U.S. invaded.  So these old ones are just the ones that got left behind as they moved them out of the country.
