UN/Warheads/Not Declared -2: Warheads Found Thursday 16 Jan 14:25 BAGHDAD (AP)--A U.N. spokesman said Thursday that the 11 empty chemical warheads found at an ammunition storage area where they were inspecting bunkers built in the late 1990s weren't previously been declared by Iraq. "It was a discovery. They were not declared," Hiro Ueki, the spokesman for U.N. weapons inspectors in Baghdad, said. Ueki was referring to Iraq's December declaration, which was to be a full and final report on its doomsday weapons program and how they had been disposed of. The warheads were found during a visit by inspectors to the Ukhaider Ammunition Storage Area, 75 miles south of Baghdad. It was one of several sites inspectors checked on Thursday. Inspectors don't usually report specific discoveries, which made Thursday's announcement unusual. It is up to the U.N. Security Council to determine whether Thursday's find would amount to a breach of U.N. resolutions. U.S. warplanes bombed the Ukhaider depot on Feb. 14, 1991, damaging or destroying an unspecified number of mustard shells and possibly created a plume of mustard gas. U.N. inspectors in 1997 said U.S. troops based in Saudi Arabia may have been exposed to the gas, but the CIA said at the time that the plume would have come no closer than 60 miles to U.S. troops. U.N. inspectors have said Iraq's final weapons declaration made in December failed to support its claims to have destroyed missiles, warheads and chemical agents such as VX nerve gas. The U.S. has cited nine areas in which it said Iraq's declaration fails to give a complete picture of weapons holdings. These include thousands of pounds of unaccounted-for materials for producing anthrax, and the chemical precursors for manufacturing mustard gas. (END) Dow Jones Newswires 01-16-03 1425ET
