"I'm certainly more and more to the conclusion that Iraq has, as they maintained, destroyed all almost of what they had in the summer of 1991," Blix told Australian national radio.
Asked if it was likely Iraq has not had Weapons of Mass Destruction for at least ten years, he said: "Yup, that's right".
Blix's suggestions, which he said were already known in the US, called into question controversial intelligence used by Britain and the US to justify the conflict in Iraq.
"You see, if they didn't have anything (WmD) after '91, there must be some explanation why they behaved as they did.
They certainly gave the impression that they were denying access and so forth," Blix said.
"I mean, you can put up a sign on your door, Beware of the Dog, without having a dog".
The US-controlled Iraq Survey Group has been scouring Iraq for evidence of weapons, but its hundreds of scientists have found very little. – Sapa-AFP.
