Blix sceptical on Iraqi WMD claim Mr Blix hopes Saddam Hussein will tell the truth about WMD Iraq probably destroyed its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the early 1990s, the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said. Speaking to the BBC's World Service, Mr Blix said he was more certain than ever that there was no WMD in Iraq. Mr Blix said the capture of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was important, as he may reveal at what stage he might have destroyed them. The US and UK used concerns over WMD to justify the March invasion of Iraq. Mr Blix and a team of UN weapons inspectors spent more than three months searching for WMD in Iraq in the build-up to the war without finding anything they deemed significant. 'No weapons' Speaking to the BBC's Newshour programme, Mr Blix said he hoped Saddam Hussein would now reveal the truth about his chemical, biological and nuclear programmes. "I doubt that he will reveal any WMD, because I think both we UN inspectors and the American inspectors have been looking around and come to the conclusion that there aren't any," Mr Blix said. "He might be able to reveal when they were done away with. I am inclined to think it was early in 1991 or 1992." Mr Blix was in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Tuesday to launch an independent international commission on WMD. A team of 14 commissioners is due to submit proposals by 2005, aimed at reducing the dangers posed by WMD around the world. He said the end of Saddam Hussein's regime did not mean the end of such threats - and listed North Korea, Iran and the tensions between India and Pakistan as areas of particular concern. The commission was set up on the initiative of Sweden's late Foreign Minister, Anna Lindh. The Swedish Government will fund its work, but the body will be independent from any government. news.bbc.co.uk

AMERICA DESERVES ANSWERS ON 9/11 SalemsHex, Thanks for posting that message. It is important. cbsnews.com Here's a disgusting example of how slavishly weak the media in America has become. This 9/11 widow is trying to use the courts and the media to "let the people know". She's being stymied at every turn. Ellen Mariani sent out 3,000 press releases on her RICO case against George Bush, and only one would touch it! News report: scoop.co.nz Mariani Pleadings: nancho.net
