United Nations weapons inspectors in Iraq today maintained their focus on probing the country's missile systems while continuing scrutiny of suspected biological, chemical and nuclear warfare sites. Experts from the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspections Commission (UNMOVIC) observed a static test of the Al Samoud 2 missile conducted at Al Rafah, according to a U.N. spokesman in Baghdad.
The U.N. also inspected Al Quadissiya, which spokesman Hiro Ueki said “produces heat-resistant components for several missile systems.”
In addition, an UNMOVIC team inspected Al Melad, a facility involved in the guidance and control system for the Al Fatah missile.
