Melbourne - The head of the UN weapons inspection team says in an Australian newspaper interview today that Iraq had breached its agreement with the UN to declare details about its biological weapons programme.
"They have had an opportunity in the past month since Secretary-General Kofi Annan's visit to offer a full and complete declaration of past bio-weapons programmes and where they stand now," UN inspection team head Mr Richard Butler told the Age in a telephone interview. "We gave them the opportunity and they blew it."
