September 19, 2002: Blix: UN Inspectors to Enter Iraq by October 15

2002-09-19

UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix tells the Security Council that he intends to position an advance weapons inspection team in Iraq by October 15. He explains: “We will select some sites that we think are interesting to go to in the early phases, so it’s not like it takes two months before we can send any guys out there in the field. It will be much earlier than that.” [BBC, 9/20/2002]
