Chief inspectors arrive for new round of talks

The chief UN arms controllers landed in Baghdad today for a new round of crucial talks with Iraqi officials. As global pressure mounted on Iraq, they expected quick concessions on everyday issues and demanded much more evidence on the tougher questions of leftover Iraqi weapons.

Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, flying in from a UN rear base in Cyprus, were scheduled to hold two days of meetings with Baghdad officials responsible for complying with UN disarmament demands.
