Iraq began Sunday to destroy six more banned Al-Samoud 2 missiles under the supervision of the United Nations at a site close to Baghdad, an Iraqi official said.

"Destruction of six missiles started at 9:00 am (0600 GMT) at Al-Taji," a huge military complex, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Baghdad, said Uday al-Tai, director general of the information ministry.

A casting chamber used in the manufacture of the missiles was also to be destroyed Sunday at Al-Rashid, south of the Iraqi capital, Tai told AFP.

Iraq on Saturday destroyed the first four of its banned Al-Samoud 2 missiles in line with a key UN disarmament demand, amid calls by Washington and its allies for Baghdad to disarm fully or face military action - Sapa-AFP
