U.S. Withdraws 400 WMD Hunters in Iraq

HeadlineJan 08, 2004

The U.S. has withdrawn from Iraq a 400-member team who had been searching for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. The New York Times reports the government has now spent seven months and hundreds of millions of dollars in the failed hunt. One weapons hunter said the team is “still waiting for something to dispose of.” The Washington Post is reporting that no evidence has emerged that showed Iraq maintained or tried to develop illegal weapons after the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
