Chief weapons inspector Hans Blix was telling the Security Council today that there is “not much” new information about Iraq’s weapons programmes in its 12,000-page declaration.

“There is a good bit of information about non-arms related activities,” he said before the closed door meeting in New York. “Not much information about the weapons.”

Blix said gaps remain in the declaration.

“The absence of supporting evidence is what we are talking about mainly. That continues,” he said.
