Iraq Weapons Inspector demands Bush give up his Weapons of Mass Destruction.

The director-general of the UN Atomic Energy Agency has called on the United States to decommission its nuclear weapons along with all other nuclear-armed states.

Yesterday, US President George W Bush called on the international community to introduce stricter controls on the spread of nuclear technology to prevent any further countries from developing atomic weapons.

He claimed nuclear, chemical and biological weapons were the greatest threat facing humanity. Mohammed El Baradei, the head of the IAEA, said today that he shared Mr Bush's concerns, but added that the US should also abandon its weapons of mass destruction.
