US inspector David Kay said this evening that no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq yet, but there was 'substantial evidence' that Iraq planned to make chemical and biological arms.
Dr David Kay, a former UN weapons inspector, has been meeting politicians in the US to tell them what he has discovered so far.
Speaking to reporters after briefing the US Congress on his mission, Dr Kay said his team in Iraq still had a long job ahead looking into Iraq's weapons programmes.
The sessions of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee tomorrow are private, and his report of the Iraq Survey Group will not be released officially.
Rep. Jane Harman of California, the ranking (senior) Democrat on the House committee, said she will press for the release of details because of the amount of public interest in the issue.
There had been widespread speculation that Dr Kay was to acknowledge the possibility that there were no weapons after all.
His report was expected to suggest the possibility that Saddam Hussein was playing an elaborate bluff on the world.
The implication is that his regime allowed others to believe that Iraq had chemical or biological weapons in the hope that it would put off an attack.
