UN disarmament experts are today returning to an engineering plant near Baghdad and checking a factory making powdered milk for babies, an Iraqi official said.
After fresh denials from the regime that it has any banned weapons or prohibited military programmes, at least three UN teams were at work today.
Inspectors from the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) went back to the giant Al-Fao plant in the Al-Kremiat area, which they had visited on Saturday.
A biological team also inspected the babies' milk factory at Abu Ghreib, northwest of the capital.
A third team specialising in chemical weapons were inspecting the Ibn al-Bitar centre for veterinary medicine research, north of Baghdad.
UNMOVIC, which resumed inspections on November 27th after a four-year break, is tasked with disarming Iraq under UN Resolution 1441, which threatens serious consequences if Baghdad fails to co-operate.
