U.N. Inspectors Make Surprise Visits
From Times Wire Reports
U.N. arms inspectors made surprise visits to a brewery and a 7Up bottling plant in their continuing search for banned chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq.
The inspectors also appeared unannounced at a missile maintenance factory and a truck repair company, where the owner complained that they had disrupted his New Year’s holiday. All four inspections occurred in or near Baghdad.
Meanwhile, U.S. and British warplanes attacked an Iraqi radar system after it was moved into the southern “no-fly” zone.
