Powell: UN inspections have run their course

US Secretary of State Colin Powell today warned that Saddam Hussein could take advantage of international inaction by using his doomsday weapons or sharing his technology with terrorists.

Declaring that the UN weapons process in Iraq had run its course, Powell told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: “The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass terror, is the greatest danger of our age.”
