UN weapons inspectors flying to Iraq

UN inspectors fly to Iraq today, resuming the search for alleged weapons of mass destruction in a mission that could determine whether the Gulf is plunged into a new war.

US President George W Bush has warned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that failure to cooperate with the inspectors will bring on an attack. Saddam faces a three-week deadline to reveal his weapons of mass destruction or provide convincing evidence he no longer has any.
