In Other News: The UK Is Holding An Iraq War Inquiry
2009 November 27
The UK received intelligence days before invading Iraq that Saddam Hussein may not have been able to use chemical weapons, an adviser has said.
Foreign Office official Sir William Ehrman told the war inquiry that a report suggested that such weapons may have been “disassembled”.
A separate report suggested Iraq might also “lack” warheads capable of spreading chemical agents, he added.
But Sir William defended the invasion, saying Iraq had flouted UN resolutions.
