UN Inspectors Check Iraqi Missiles
United Nations inspectors Sunday visited a military facility north of Baghdad and tagged Iraqi Al Samoud missiles, which were cited as the evidence of Iraq's violation of UN resolutions.

A missile team of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) went to a military storage in the Taji area, 40 km north of Baghdad, and tagged four newly-produced Al Samoud missiles to indicate they were tracked, a UNMOVIC Spokesman said in a statement.

UN inspectors also went to other facilities to tag imported Al Samoud engines and identify Al Samoud parts, the statement said.

UN inspectors, some using helicopters, Sunday inspected at least 12 sites, including military bases and a college.

The UN inspectors relaunched the search for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction last November, four years after the now defunct UN Special Commission (UNSCOM) left Iraq ahead of a US-British bombing blitz.

Chief UN inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei presented Friday their second status report to the Security Council, confirming progress in Iraq's cooperation with the disarmament process.
