UN: Nuclear Equipment Missing in Iraq

HeadlineOct 12, 2004

The United Nations is warning that equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear arms vanished in Iraq following the U.S. invasion. Mohamed ElBaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency said yesterday that satellite images show entire buildings have been dismantled without any record being made. According to the BBC, Iraq’s US-backed leaders have not reported to the UN on the state of nuclear plants despite a duty to do so. In addition ElBaradei said the US has not allowed UN weapons inspectors to move freely in Iraq forcing it to rely on satellite images to monitor the country.
