World IN BRIEF : IRAQ : U.N. Finds Chemical Warfare Equipment

U.N. inspectors returning from Iraq said they found chemical bomb-making equipment in a surprise visit to a sugar factory. U.N. officials told reporters that previous U.N. inspectors had learned that the bomb-making equipment was moved from Iraq’s main chemical facility at Muthana, north of Baghdad, before the Gulf War. Iraqi authorities were asked to return the equipment from its hiding place at the sugar factory, in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul, to Muthana, which has been chosen as the site for the destruction of Baghdad’s chemical arsenal.
