Blix Speaks of Personal Anger over Iraq
Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix again criticized the way U.S. and U.K leaders handled information in the run-up to the Iraq war. He also warned leaders to remain wary of North Korea during his lecture tour.
Hans Blix is not considered someone who likes to rekindle old flames. But speaking to journalists in Berlin on Tuesday, the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix stressed that he was still angry about the way U.S. and British government leaders treated the information obtained by his team in the lead-up to the Iraq war.
Blix recalled that the inspectors visited nearly 70 sites in Iraq and never found anything substantial that might have justified the war. He admitted that many things had remained unaccounted for, but said more inspections on the ground could have helped answer important questions.
