UN surveys gamma
emissions over Iraq
to check nuke arms
Reuters
UNITED NATIONS- The United Nations said it tracked
gamma emissions over Iraq in an effort to detect any remaining
nuclear weapons materials and flew over Baghdad
for the first time without Iraqi obiections.
A statement from the U.N: Special Commission, in
charge of scrapping Iraq's weapons of mass destruction,
said the recent aerial surveys were to verify Iraq's declarations
of its nuclear weapons program, which has been largely
eliminated. A recent helicopter survey plotted the locatIon
of the electromagnetic radIation, particularly that above
normallevels, and included five new sites in and around
municipal Baghdadand in central and northwestern Iraq.
IraqI autbaities in the past had objected to overflights in
and around Baghdad but there was no sign of protest for
this flight. The survey was to verify current knowledge of
radioactive materials, investigate new sites and periodically
check any changein the level of radiation.
"Major changesin emission levels might be indicative of
movements of radioactive materials whIch should be subject
to monitoringand verification," the statement said.
The commissionis about to embark on a long-term monitoring
programto make sure Iraq does not reacquire nuclear,
chemicalbiological and ballistic weapons.
It estimatedat least six months were needed to test and
implement the program before reporting to the Security
Council itis satisfied Iraq no longer possesses its most dangerous
weapons,banned since the Gulf War. The council
then must decide whether to lift the oil embargo, in place
since Iraq's troops invaded Kuwaiti in August 1990..U.S.
Ambassador Madeleine Albright believes the commission
should takeup to a year to test the monitoring 'program.
