  Row over Iraq's weapons grows
Updated 06 June 2003, 11.07
UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix
The man in charge of finding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction has criticised the US and UK governments.

Dr Hans Blix said the secret info they gave didn't help him find any evidence that Saddam Hussein was developing illegal weapons.

There's now a growing row about whether there was actually enough proof to go to war with Iraq.

Still searching

A new American-led team's just arrived to hunt for weapons.

Dr Blix said his team went to the places which were supposed to contain weapons - but they found nothing.

'Disappointed'

He told the BBC he was disappointed with the information provided by US and British officials.

US president, George W Bush
"Only in three of those cases did we find anything at all, and in none of the cases were there any weapons of mass destruction," he said.

Dr Blix, who is retiring from his job next month, said he still wasn't sure whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

The US has defended the information it provided.
