On Thursday, UN weapons teams were on with the inspection of six more installations that were linked or could have links with Iraqi WMD development programs.

UNMOVIC biological warfare experts are conducting inspections of Akai company, which manufactures antibiotics. The company's facilities are located near As-Suvaira (35km south of Baghdad).

The second UNMOVIC team is working on a missile launch site near the town of Ramadi, 50 km west of the Iraqi capital.

At the same time, IAEA experts are inspecting four other facilities. Among those is a general contractor for manufacturing steel rolling billets, Nida, in the southwestern outskirts of Baghdad, chemical plant Muattasam in the town of Al-Musaiib (60 km south of Baghdad), and Ibn-Sina company where the inspections started yesterday.
