IRAQ'S SECRET WEAPONS?

Citing concerns that Iraq may be concealing materials that could be used in biological warfare, the U.N. Security Council agreed to continue economic sanctions against the country. France and Russia had called for the ending of sanctions if Iraq cooperated with U.N. officials overseeing the elimination of the Iraqi weapon supply. But chief U.N. weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus reported that 17 tons of material that could be used to grow biological warfare germs remain unaccounted for, along with chemicals that could make 200 tons of nerve gas.
