The US civil adminstrator for Iraq, Paul Bremer, Sunday denied the existence of laboratories in Iraq making weapons of mass destruction for which British Prime Minister Tony Blair claimed US-led teams have massive evidence.
Asked about the claim without being told first of the source, Bremer said: "I don't know where those words come from but that is not what (Iraq survey group chief) David Kay has said."
"I have read (Kay's) reports so I don't know who said that," Bremer said in an interview on the British ITV1 channel. "It sounds like a bit of a red herring to me," the the top American official commentde. "It sounds like someone who doesn't agree with the policy sets up a red herring then knocks it down."
