Iraq's Most Senior Defector: Document Leaked to Today

"OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS leaked to the government-owned British Broadcasting Corporation reveal that Iraq has already disarmed and the United Nations has known since 1995.

General Hussein Kamel is the most senior Iraqi official ever to leave Iraq as a defector. Kamel knew more than anybody else Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and the US government wanted to use Kamel as a prosecution witness against the Iraqi regime. As such, Kamel is the most important UN informer in the history of the conflict with Iraq."

...

"The US and UK governments "appear to be sensitive about the new disclosures". Both Washington and London "furiously denied this week that Kamel said Iraq had destroyed all its weapons". The official response is extremely suspicious, because the BBC insist that "Our leaked document shows quite clearly (on page 13) that he did say this."" (c) TheInsider 12/3/03
