UNITED NATIONS: The head of the U.N. weapons inspection program said recently the Security Council is not likely to lift the oil embargo on Iraq soon.

The current U.N team in Iraq has not found any of the up to 200 Scud missiles the CIA says may be hidden there.

He also has been sounding out the Iraqis and Security Council nations to reach an understanding about what constitutes “full cooperation” by the Iraqis.

The ceasefire resolution adopted by the Security Council in 1991 links the embargos end to Baghdad’s total cooperation.
