UN gave Iraq 48 hours warning before U2 spy plane flights began
The UN warned Iraq 48 hours before American U2 spy planes took off for their flights over Iraqi territory in support of UN weapons inspectors. A spokesman for the UN weapons inspections team in Iraq said that the U2 flights started yesterday, but according to an Iraqi request, the UN gave Iraqi authorities two days advance notice before the spy planes took off, reports Israel Radio.Boy, I guess the UN really, really doesn't want the U2 to find anything, do they?
