The approval of doctoring clothing especially denim trousers with toxins was almost as much an anti crime measure as one of anti terrorism. African owned stores were being targeted and raided for any desirable goods that were in scarce supply with UN sanctions. Denim clothing was far preferable to the rough clothing given to terrorists when they joined ZANLA or Zipra. A small sample of clothing was doctored and the terrorists who had committed atrocities fell for the trap. They died. Their own combat clothing having been made for Chinese conditions 40 years previously. The result of having met their fate and received their just deserts prevented further theft and the enrichment of themselves at the expense of their fellow men. Something that continues to this day in their government. Other CBW was meaningless as Rhodesians had learned from their British kith and kin fighting in the Anglo-Boer War that measures such as poisoning water sources under Kitcheners instructions was a two edged sword in a land with limited water. This was because that same source of water could be used by your own forces. It is also interesting that those reporting on use of CBW by Rhodesians never donned Rhodesian army uniforms.
