OT- U.N. Inspectors Find Chemical Warheads


Jan 16, 1:15 PM (ET)


BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - U.N. inspectors found 11 empty chemical warheads in "excellent" condition Thursday at an ammunition storage area, where they were inspecting bunkers built in the late 1990s, a U.N. spokesman reported.

A 12th warhead also was found that requires further evaluation, according to the statement by Hiro Ueki, the spokesman for U.N. weapons inspectors in Baghdad.

The team used portable x-ray equipment to conduct a preliminary analysis of one of the warheads and collected samples for chemical testing, Ueki's statement said.

"The warheads were in excellent condition and were similar to ones imported by Iraq during the late 1980's," the statement said.

The warheads were found during a visit by inspectors to bunkers built in the late 1990s at the Ukhaider Ammunition Storage Area in southern Iraq.
