Iraqi weapons of mass destruction - . a twoyear search costing millions of dollars·- has closed down without finding the stockpiles that President Bush cited as a justification for overthrowing Saddam Hussein. Bush's spokesman said the president had no regrets about invading lr<1q. "Based on what we know today, the president would h.ave taken the same action because this is about protecting the American people," said Press Secretary Scott Mcclellan. The Iraq Survey Group ·. made up of as many as I ,500 military and intelligence specialists. and support staff - is . en(ling its search of military ·installations, factories and laboratories where it was thought that equipment and products might be converted to making weapons. · McClellan said the active search had virtually ended. "There may be a couple, a few people that are focused on that," he said, adding that they would handle any future rC?ports that might come in. · At a meeting 'last month, McClellan said Bush thanked the chief U.S. weapons in spec, tor, Charles Duel fer, for his work: A special adviser to the CIA director, Duelfer will · deliver a final edition of a report on Iraq's weapons next month. McClellan said it is not expected to fundamentally differ from the findings of a report last fall. Duel fer said theti that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and had not made any · since 1991. However, he said the government · harbored intentions of recreating its weapons programs and had gone to great lengths to manipulatethe U.N. oil-for-food program. At the time, Bush strongly defended his . decision to invade Iraq. Saddam "retained the . knowledge, the materials, the means and the intent to produce weapons of mass destruction, and he could have passed tllat knowledge on to our terrorist enemies," Bush said in October. On Wednesday, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said, "Now that the search is finished, President Bush needs to explain to the American people why he was so wrong, for so long, about the reasons for war." The end of the weapons hunt comes as the Bush administration struggles with a danger. ous security situation in Iraq leading up to Jan. 30 elections. Meanwhile, other countries-. notably Iran and North Korea- are suspected of developing covert nuclear weapons programs. When asked whether tl)e failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq would damage U.S. credibility in handling future threats, McClellan said the president would continue to work with the international community, particularly on diplomatic solutions. He said pre-emptive military action was "the last o~rion" to p'ursue. "We ·are acting to make sure we have the best possible intelligence," McClellan said, adding that a number of changes 'have: been made since the Sept. II·, 200 I, attacks. Almos.t one year ago, Bush formed a presi dential commission to investigate U.S. intelli- . gence capabilities · on · weapons of mass destruction, focusing not only on Iraq but on how well the intelligence community under- · stands the threat from other countries and ter: ror networks. Its report is due March 31. The closing down of the weapons search was first reported in the Washington Post on VVednesday. . David Kay, who headed the Iraq Survey Group until stepping down last January, said. he wa·s not surprised ihe group was concluding its efforts · without finding any major weapons stockpiles.

LONDON - A British Airways jet carrying 239 passengers to New York was forced to return to London Wednesday after U .S. authorities determined that one . of the passengers represented a terror threat, the airline said. Flight BA 175 was three hours i.nto its journey when it was forced to turn back . to London 's Heathrow Airport, where the passenger was · detained by ·police. U.S. Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Yolanda Clark said the passenger was traveling on a French passport.

In VVashington, a U.S. counterterrorism official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there Was concern about the passenger's affiliation with known terrorists, specifically with a cell that operated out of Morocco. London's Metropolitan Police, . who questioned the man, said later he had been released without charge. The TSA determined that British Airways followed proper procedures in checking the inan's name against the no-fly list. It was only after the plane took off that the air· line sent the passenger manifest to U.S. Customs and Bwder Protectipn, which matched the "It is like dropping a shoe a little late. Quite frankly.
