Inspectors issue Iraq ultimatum Thursday, January 16, 2003 BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The top U.N. weapons inspectors have accused Iraq of not doing enough to help experts on the ground and warned Baghdad to cooperate or face war. Hans Blix, speaking in Brussels, and Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who is in Russia, demanded more help from Baghdad -- a call supported by the European Union. Blix also accused Baghdad of illegally importing arms-related material to the country but added it was not yet clear whether the items were related to weapons of mass destruction. White House officials said they were pleased to hear Blix's remarks, noting that they are more consistent with what Washington has been saying -- only the pressure and threat of miiltary force will get Iraq's attention. Blix said: "Everyone wants to see a credible and verified disarmament of Iraq. "We feel Iraq must do more than it has so far in order to make inspections a credible avenue (to disarmament). "The other major avenue is in the form of armed action against Iraq. For my part we are trying our best to make inspections effective so we can have a peaceful solution." He added: "It's clear Iraq has violated the bans of the United Nations in terms of imports. We have found things that have been illegally imported, even in 2001 and 2002." After the talks in Brussels with Blix, the EU's foreign policy chief Javier Solana expressed his solidarity with the chief weapons inspector. Solana told reporters: "He (Blix) has conveyed to me his concern that the cooperation with Saddam Hussein, the cooperation with Iraq, is not sufficient. "We are demanding a more pro-active cooperation from the regime of Saddam Hussein so that the world, the Security Council, the inspectors, are convinced that he has disarmed from all weapons of mass destruction." ..... cnn.com
