Inspectors begin second day of talks in Baghdad
As the UN’s chief weapons inspectors today began their second day of talks in Baghdad before their crucial report to the Security Council next Friday, Secretary General Kofi Annan warned that the US must not go to war with Iraq alone without the backing of the international community.
Mr Annan said the Security Council must “face up to its responsibilities” if the report by Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei revealed Baghdad was not co-operating with the UN.
