BAGHDD, Iraq — Iraq invited the chief U.N. inspectors back to Baghdad on Thursday for more talks on ways to verify Iraqi disarmament and deflect charges that Saddam Hussein’s government is not cooperating fully with them.
In a letter, presidential adviser Amer al-Saadi asked Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei to return in advance of their next crucial report to the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 14. The U.N. officials conducted two days of talks with Iraqi officials here on Jan. 19 and 20.
Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador Mohammed al-Douri delivered the invitation to Blix late Thursday and spent an hour with him discussing Baghdad’s seven-page response to the chief inspector’s report Monday. ElBaradei, head of the U.N. nuclear agency, was returning to Vienna from New York and was expected to receive his invitation today
