Iraqis fire blank shots to ward off UN inspectors
UNITED NATIONS. June 28: Iraqi soldiers fired shots into the air while again denying UN inspectors' access Friday to the uranium enrichment device that had been hidden in an army barracks, UN and US officials said Friday, reports AP.
The inspection team had been barred from entering the At>u Gharaib barracks near Baghdad from Sunday, when it arrived for a surprise inspection, until Wednesday, when the machinery had been removed.
The United States accuses Iraq of trying to hide nuclear weapons production.
Iraqi officials denied entry to the team at a military transportation site east of Fallujah, where the uranium enrichment equipment had been moved. US and UN officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
They found the stuff, and the Iraqis did it again.’ said one US diplomat.
UN officials said Iraqi troops fired into the air to punctuate their refusal to let the inspectors in.
Members of the UN Special Commission on verifying Iraq's cooperation with the disman Hing of its offensive weapons were meeting and unavailable for Immediate comment.
The executive director of the Special Commission, Rolf Ekcus, was expected to make a strong public statement later Friday, UN officials said.
The United States has been tracking the movements of the equipment through overhead reconnaissance photography and providing the imagery to the Special Commission to guide its work.
The Los Angeles Times, citing-unnamed administration aides, reported tn Friday's editions that the US Defense Department has been ordered to prepare plans for military strikes on possible nuclear caches throughout Iraq.
The Defense Department would not confirm the report.
The acting US ambassador. Alexander Watson, said Wednesday that the Iraqis
were apparently moving around the parts of a crude device for enriching uranium to weapons-gradc material by the electro-magnetic isotope separation process.
In Baghdad, Iraqi authorities lashed out at the UN nuclear Inspectors, saying they were not being objective and that most of them were Amcrfcans.
Deputy Foreign Minister Nizar Hamdoun however told a news conference that Iraq "will continue to cooperate fully with all the missions sent-by the United Nations.* i
According to Hamdoun. 90 per cent of the special commission's members were from countries which took part in the US-led coalition that drove iraqi troops from Kuwait tn February, ending a seven -month occupation of the Emirate.
