Former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Saturday he suspected the United States bugged his office and home in the run-up to the Iraq war, but had no hard evidence.
Describing such behaviour as "disgusting", Blix told Britain's Guardian newspaper in an interview: "It feels like an intrusion in to your integrity in a situation when you are actually on the same side."
Blix said his suspicions were raised when he had trouble with a telephone connection at home. "It might have been something trivial or it might have been something installed somewhere, I don't know," he told the British daily.
