US inspector finds no evidence of Saddam's WMD

The top US arms inspector reported today that he found no evidence that Iraq produced any weapons of mass destruction after 1991.

Charles Duelfer also concluded that Saddam Hussein’s weapons capability weakened during a dozen years of UN sanctions before the US-led invasion last year.

Contrary to pre-war statements by President George Bush and top administration officials, Saddam did not have chemical and biological stockpiles when the war began and his nuclear capabilities were deteriorating, not advancing, according Mr Duelfer, the head of the Iraq Survey Group.
