http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030823/wl_nm/iraq_britain_scientist_dc&cid=574&ncid=1480LONDON (Reuters) - The inquiry investigating the suicide of a British weapons expert on Saturday published about 9,000 pages of evidence from the probe that has sparked the biggest crisis in Tony Blair's six-year premiership.
They were gathered so the inquiry could piece together the events which led to the death of David Kelly, sucked into a bitter row over whether Blair's aides hyped the case for war against Iraq (news - web sites). He was found dead in woods near his home with a wrist slashed.
The documents were released onto the Internet (on www.the-hutton-inquiry.org.uk) after being submitted by the Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Defense, the BBC, parliament's Foreign Affairs Select Committee and newspapers.
Blair is to appear before the inquiry on Thursday, one day after his Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon, who is seen as a possible fall guy in the affair.
