An UNMOVIC chemical team made their second visit to Falluja III, which is part of the Al Tariq Company. "The team inspected the site to establish the current status of the site and its activity," Mr. Ueki said.

Biological warfare experts from UNMOVIC inspected facilities at the Ibn Al-Baetar Centre at Al Taji, a previously declared and inspected site. They inspected the Veterinary Drug Research Production Centre, the Chemical Production and Analysis facility, and the Biological Research and Development Department.

Meanwhile, over the past three days, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) sent a team of inspectors to the Mosul area, where multiple inspections were carried out. "One team concentrated on underground facilities, inspecting two projects associated with electricity generation and irrigation," Mr. Ueki said.

Inspections were also carried out at former nuclear facilities near Mosul, the Jaber bin Hayam site that produces chemical protection equipment for the military and some civilian products, and the Al Kindi State Company, which is associated with missile and rocket development.
