Inspectors at missile plant
Weapons inspectors paid a surprise visit to a Baghdad missile plant today as international experts met behind closed doors in New York to assess whether Iraq’s short-range missiles can fly farther than permitted.
In their daily rounds of inspections, conducted despite a Muslim holiday in Iraq, a UN team went to a factory, which makes moulds and casts, including components for Iraq’s al-Samoud ballistic missiles, the Information Ministry reported.
