03Dec03-AFP-UN still waiting for US report on Iraq weapons United Nations weapons inspectors say they still have not been given a key report by American and British experts who have searched post-war Iraq for weapons of mass destruction. The revelation is contained in a report by UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), the UN arms team which originally monitored Baghdad's weapons programs and left on the eve of the war. The interim report from the US-led Iraq Survey Group was completed in October. Controversy has raged over whether the regime of Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, cited as a main reason for the US-led war that ended his regime. The Bush administration has said the survey group's report confirms its statements about Saddam's weapons programs, even though it also admits no WMDs have been found. The Security Council will discuss the UNMOVIC report next week. Meanwhile, the US Under Secretary of State, John Bolton, has said the United States and its allies are willing to use what he has called "robust techniques" to stop certain countries from pursuing weapons of mass destruction. He says the techniques include the interdiction and seizure of illicit goods needed to make such weapons. "Rogues states, such as Iran, North Korea, Syria, Libya and Cuba, whose pursuit of weapons of mass destruction make them hostile to US interests, will learn that their covert programs will not escape either detection or consequences," he said. --AFP abc.net.au
