Depending on what you mean by WMD. I don't thgink there were any non-thermobaric weapons. I think it's likely, though, that materials for them were around, probably mothballed, that the programme was incoherent and disturbed, hysterical and paranoid, and largely unable to produce anything effective or reliable in a weapons sense, but perfectly able to cause large-scale disasters or fear (as-per something Sverdlovsk/Yekaterinberg). Most people in Halabja were killed by soldiers weilding Kalashnikovs; the chemicals used were dangerous and horrific and killed many people in a nasty way, but even when Iraq could persue its chemical weapons programme unimpeded, they weren't weapons of mass production so much as weapons of institutional sadism. That's my take, anyway.
