“Saddam will never surrender these weapons”

The Daily Telegraph has obtained an interview with a senior Iraqi air force officer who fled the country last year. He says that Iraq’s air force has developed more sophisticated delivery and detonation systems for chemical weapons than had previously been known. “Saddam will never surrender these weapons,” says the officer. “They are as much a part of his life as eating and drinking.”
A representative of Unmovic, the U.N.’s weapons inspection agency, says, “We would be interested in talking to this man.” It’s getting a little late in the day for that.
