Paris - France is ready to deploy four Mirage IV spy planes for use in reconnaissance and observation missions over Iraq as part of the UN weapons inspections process, the French armed forces said Tuesday.

On Monday, Iraq told UN arms inspectors that it would unconditionally accept flights over its territory by surveillance planes, including U2 planes, French Mirage jets and Russian-Made Antonov aircraft.

"All the planes used by UNMOVIC and the International Atomic Energy Agency will be allowed," said Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations Mohamed al-Douri.

UNMOVIC is the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, which is charged with supervising the destruction of Iraq's chemical and biological weapons and ballistic missiles programs.
