| Description | LONDON, England -- A dossier released by the British government in the run-up to an attack on Iraq claiming Baghdad had weapons of mass destruction was an "embarrassment," UK foreign secretary Jack Straw admitted.
Straw was answering questions Tuesday from the multi-party House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee.
It is investigating claims that the report, allegedly proving the regime of former Iraq president Saddam Hussein was in possession of illegal weapons, were overstated.
The reports have become known as the "dodgy dossier." The issue has dominated British politics and the media in the absence of any evidence of WMD in post-war Iraq, two months after the fall of Hussein. |
