-- Iraq Tells Blix of Finding New Documents, Bomb -- UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iraq has informed U.N. arms inspectors of the discovery of some 100 documents dealing with the disposal of weapons of mass destruction in 1991, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Tuesday. Iraq has also informed inspectors of the discovery of an R-400 bomb containing liquid in an area where Baghdad was known to have disposed of biological weapons in the past, Blix told reporters. He said the new disclosures, which he described as "positive and which need to be explored further," came in a series of six letters sent to his U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission in the past three days. "There is one letter in which they tell us that they have found a R-400 bomb containing liquid in a site which we is known to us and (at) which they did dispose of biological weapons before," Blix said. "There is another letter that tells us that they have found some 100 documents concerning the act of disposal of prohibited items in 1991. Now, all these have to be followed up but these are new elements," he said. Inspectors have been asking Iraq for evidence that it unilaterally destroyed some of the banned weapons that are unaccounted for. (C) Reuters 2003. All rights reserved.
