New Doubts about Powell/CIA intelligence on decontamination trucks
'Further doubts have arisen over the intelligence presentation on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction made by US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, at the UN Security Council last month. UN weapons inspectors have been unable to confirm the accuracy of American claims that its satellite images show chemical decontamination vehicles at former Iraqi weapons sites as stated by Mr Powell. UN inspectors say the trucks may have been water trucks.

'"We have not been able to independently confirm from those satellite photographs whether this thing is a decontamination truck or a water truck," a spokesman for the chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, said. "Apparently they look very, very similar so it's impossible for us to do an independent analysis."'
