From Times Wire Reports
The Security Council asked chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix to brief members next week, as the United States fielded its own disarmament teams inside Iraq. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan wants inspections in Iraq to resume as soon as possible.
Most of the council supports the inspectors’ return. But Washington has not invited them to take part in the disarmament process. Instead, the United States has tried to hire away some U.N. experts and has sent its own teams to search for banned weapons.
