US chief Iraq arms expert quits
*The head of the team searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,
David Kay, has resigned. *
Mr Kay said he did not believe Iraq possessed large stockpiles of
chemical or biological weapons.
He is being replaced by a former deputy head of the United Nations
weapons inspections team, Charles Duelfer.
Mr Duelfer said earlier this month he believed the chances of finding
chemical or biological weapons in Iraq were now "close to nil".
Mr Kay gave no reason for leaving, but the BBC's John Leyne in
Washington says sources there speak of a mixture of personal reasons and
his disillusionment with the weapons search.
His resignation had been expected for a few weeks....
