Eleven empty chemical warheads found

UN INSPECTORS yesterday found 11 empty chemical warheads in “excellent” condition at an Iraqi ammunition storage area where they were inspecting bunkers built in the late 1990s.

A 12th 122mm warhead was found that requires further evaluation, said Hiro Ueki, the spokesman for the inspectors in Baghdad.

The team used portable X-ray equipment to conduct a preliminary analysis of one of the warheads and collected samples for chemical testing, Ueki's statement said.
