Iraq was complying: Blix

Ewen MacAskill

LONDON: The head of the United Nations weapons inspectors in the run-up to the Iraq war, Hans Blix, on Wednesday night undercut one of the main grounds offered by the U.K. Attorney-General, Lord Goldsmith, in his legal advice to the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, as to whether the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was legal. Lord Goldsmith said there would have to be evidence that Iraq was not complying with the inspectors.

But Mr. Blix, who has since retired to Sweden, said his inspectors found no compelling evidence that Iraq had a hidden arsenal or was blocking the work of the inspectors. He said there had been only small infractions by Iraq.

``We did express ourselves in dry terms but there was no mistake about the content,'' he said.
