"Iraq destroys more missiles" - headline of article on 3-9-2003

Iraqi officials listed Sunday's inspections at the following sites:

A missile team visited Al Qaa'qa site south of Baghdad in Yousefiya that had been used by Iraq's nuclear program for the production of high explosive lenses, detonators and propellants for nuclear weapons, according to a dossier of weapons of mass destruction facilities released by the British government last year.

The site belongs to the Iraqi Military Industrialization Commission.

The British dossier, released in September, alleged that parts of a phosgene production plant at al Qaa'qa had been rebuilt after being dismantled under U.N. supervision in the 1990s. Phosgene, the dossier said, has industrial uses, but "can also be used by itself as a chemical agent or as a precursor for nerve agent."
