UN experts in Iraq finished first step of their works

United Nations inspectors completed the first phase of their work in Iraq without any problems and with assistance from the Iraqi government.

UNSCOM sources said that they think there are still secrets about the Iraqi weapons. The official Iraqi sources said there is nothing for Iraq to hide.

The last three inspection teams have not faced serious problems in Iraq, said Daniel Carlstrom, director of the control center in Iraq, yesterday.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Saalhaf said that Turkey is still executing military operations against Kurds in northern Iraq.
