US Says It Can Prove Iraq Has Banned Weapons


The United States said on Friday it had "very convincing evidence" Iraq possessed banned weapons as a transatlantic rift widened over whether Baghdad should be disarmed by force. U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton, Washington's top arms control diplomat, said Iraq has maintained an extensive program for the production of weapons of mass destruction, including long-range ballistic missiles banned since the 1991 Gulf War.
