Iraq's Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan reiterated on Sunday his country would not allow UN weapons inspectors to return. "Iraq's rejection of the teams of spies to return back to Iraq is firm and won't change," Ramadan was quoted by the official Iraq News Agency as saying. "Iraq is fully convinced that there is no need for them (the inspectors) to return," Ramadan said. "They had carried out vicious spying activities in Iraq for more than eight years." Ramadan's remarks came after UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri ended a meeting in New York on Thursday aimed at allowing the inspectors to return Iraq. Another meeting is set for April.
