Hutton inquiry: Kelly 'frustrated' by situation in Iraq

The widow of UK weapons expert David Kelly has told the inquiry into his death that her husband was well used to briefing journalists and that she heard him speaking on the phone from home.

“He was never very long on the phone to these journalists,” said Janice Kelly.

The weapons expert’s widow said he felt there was unfinished business in Iraq after the Unscom inspectors were thrown out of the country.

“He felt that his job there wasn’t finished. That Iraq did indeed have plenty of weapons ... it was quite a frustrating time, I think, after 1998 when they were effectively thrown out of Iraq,” she said.
