Iraq to allow U.N. use of spy planes Baghdad pledges co-operation with inspectors, weapons ban UNITED NATIONS (AP) . Iraq sent a letter to UN weapons inspectors today approving the use of U.S.-made U-2 surveillance planes and pledged to pass legislation next week outlawing the use of weapons of mass destruction, Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations said. "The inspectors are now free to use the American U-2s as well as French and Russian planes," Ambassador Mohamed al-Douri told The Associated Press. Iraq had blocked the use of the planes, which inspectors said they needed in their search for banned weapons. Al-Douri delivered the letter to the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, run at UN headquarters by Hans Blix, the chief weapons inspector. Blix was on his way back to New York after a two-day visit to Baghdad, where he met with Iraqi officials in any effort to iron out problems and try to enhance Iraqi co-operation with inspections. The issue of the U-2 plane had been a key demand by inspectors along with other issues, including Iraq's failure to pass legislation outlawing weapons of mass destruction. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
