Chie f U.N. arms inspector Hans Blix said Thursday that he was prepared to send his inspectors back to Iraq now that the war has ebbed.

"We are ready to mobilize," Blix said in an interview with a Swedish television network.

Blix heads the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, which was charged with eliminating Iraq's chemical and biological weapons. He pulled out his inspectors before the war led by the United States and Britain broke out on March 20 to topple Saddam Hussein's regime.

Blix is to meet with the U.N. Security Council Tuesday to discuss the possibility of resuming arms inspections, which were also led on the nuclear front by Mohammed ElBaradei, of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who was planning to send a representative to the council meeting - Sapa-AFP.
