Al-Qaqaa had among the highest number of dual-use materials

Equipment and material that could be used to make biological or chemical weapons have been removed from 109 Iraqi sites, UN weapons inspectors say.
In a new report to the UN Security Council, satellite imagery experts said biological sites were less affected.
The report said the dual-use equipment could be used for legitimate but also "for prohibited purposes".
However, it warned that experts had been unable to determine the destination of all the items removed.
The UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (Unmovic) has not returned to Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.
But it has continued to monitor the sites in Iraq that had been subject to inspection until then.
Stored elsewhere?
The 21st quarterly report gives more details of an investigation begun more than a year ago, an Unmovic spokesman told the BBC News website.
Ewen Buchanan said the findings had been derived from satellite images - dual-use material could be stored in a shed next door to a site, but this could not be ascertained unless you were on the ground.
Of the 411 sites inspected between November 2002 and March 2003, Unmovic experts have acquired and examined post-war high-resolution imagery covering 378 sites, the report said.
"Experts have determined to date that 109 of the sites (of which 90 had been identified in the Commission's previous report) were cleaned to varying degrees."

No conclusion can be drawn concerning the presence or absence of equipment or materials inside undamaged buildings, nor the destination of all items removed

Dual-use equipment and materials subject to UN monitoring had been removed totally from 52 sites, and partially from 44 sites.
These account for approximately 7,900 items of dual-use equipment and material - 130 biological, 4,780 chemical and 3,000 missile-related.
Unmovic said biological sites were less damaged - only 12 of the 109 were biological sites.
A third of the chemical items removed came from al-Qaqaa industrial complex south of Baghdad which was "among the sites possessing the highest number of dual-use production equipment, whose fate is now unknown".
Significant quantities of missing material had been stored in facilities in the Falluja area - a focus of Sunni unrest.
The report said: "No conclusion can be drawn concerning the presence or absence of equipment or materials inside undamaged buildings, nor the destination of all items removed."
Last year, the UN nuclear watchdog reported that 350 metric tons of high explosives had gone missing in Iraq around the time of the US-led invasion.
