The British Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, has said a dossier compiled by British intelligence on the military strength of Iraq will be published in nine days time.

In an interview with Sky News, Mr Straw said every foreign minister in the world wanted to see an end to the Saddam Hussein regime. He added that the new dossier gives evidence of Hussein's military capability, and of the Iraqi leader's desire to acquire nuclear weapons.

The dossier will also include information published last week by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

The release of the document will coincide with the recall of parliament to discuss Iraq.
