Scientists threatened with death Powell: Iraq dodging inspectors 'Act, or face irrelevance' Military officers rushed to hide evidence

New York - US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday showed satellite photos to the UN Security Council that he said was evidence of Iraqi deception on banned weapons.

The photos showed what he said were weapons munition bunkers and a decontamination vehicle which are used in the event something goes wrong in the facility.

The he displayed a photo showing that before UN weapons inspectors arrived, the vehicle was gone and the facility cleaned up, and the inspectors found nothing.

"This sequence of events raises the worrisome suspicion that Iraq had been tipped off," Powell said.
