The number of experts in Iraq rose to about 70 with the arrival on Tuesday of about two dozen inspectors. "We can inspect far more sites simultaneously," U.N. spokesman in Baghdad Yashuhiro Ueki told reporters when asked if inspections were now more robust.
At the United Nations, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said he hoped to have an assessment of the arms declaration next week after distributing an edited version of the document to the full Security Council.
Blix said he expected to give the document to all Security Council members by Monday after it had been purged of sensitive information.
The dossier, which is supposed to give a full account of Iraq's past and present weapons programs, was ordered by the Security Council as part of its tough Resolution 1441, demanding Iraq disarm or face serious consequences.
The United States, which has built up forces in the region and held exercises in case of war against Iraq, issued a statement outlining its strategy against nuclear, chemical and biological weapons -- the first update since 1993.
The document said deterring attacks with the threat of "overwhelming force" was an essential element in protecting America and its allies from weapons of mass destruction, also known as WMD.
"The United States will continue to make clear that it reserves the right to respond with overwhelming force -- including through resort to all our options -- to the use of WMD against the United States, our forces abroad, and friends and allies," the strategy report said.
RUSSIA URGES CAUTION
Russia -- one of the five permanent council members along with the United States, France, Britain and China -- said the U.N. weapons inspectors should draw their own conclusions about Iraq's dossier before states accused Baghdad of violating U.N. resolutions.
"There should be no pressure on the inspectors from outside," Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said at a news briefing, in comments apparently intended as a warning to the Bush administration.
Moscow is concerned Washington could use its copy of the Iraq dossier to pre-empt the Security Council, declare Iraq in breach of its commitments and launch military action.
President Bush (news - web sites) has said Iraq would be lying if it said it had no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, but Baghdad says this is the truth.
Diplomats and U.S. officials said the United States received an early and uncut copy of Iraq's weapons declaration and whisked it to Washington for analysis. It then distributed copies to Britain, France, Russia and China.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said some Security Council members had criticized Washington for its approach, but he rejected charges that by allowing the maneuver the United Nations had proved it was Washington's puppet.
"The consensus of the group was that in substance perhaps the decision was fine, but the approach, and the style and the form was wrong because the council had decided last Friday that nobody would get it," he told an invited audience in New York.
"It was unfortunate and I hope it is not going to be repeated," Annan said.
