ElBaradei Says IAEA Inspectors to Return to Iraq

International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors are set to return to Iraq “in the coming days” following a request by the Iraqi government, IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said today (see GSN, July 8).

“The return of inspectors to Iraq is an absolute necessity, not to search for weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but to draft the final report on the absence of WMDs in Iraq,” ElBaradei said in Cairo (Agence France-Presse/Yahoo!News, July 20).
