Also Thursday, inspectors searched the homes of two Iraqi scientists in Baghdad for the first time. One of the them, a physicist, left with inspectors, but it was unclear if there was any connection between the home search and the discovery of the munitions. Debate immediately began about whether the warheads constituted a material breach under U.N. Resolution 1441.

The Chronicle regrets the error. ery and would be deliberate about reacting to it. The resolution stipulates Iraq must declare any banned weapons, their locations and related materials. Any false statements or the failure to cooperate "shall constitute a material breach," which could be a trigger for war. U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the discovery may not amount to a "smoking gun" unless some sort of chemical agent is also detected. Key questions about the find are whether any chemical weapons were ever loaded into the ordnance, and, if so, when, officials said. Serial numbers on the rockets should tell inspectors where and when they were made. The 122 mm warheads were found in bunkers built in the late 1990s at the Ukhaider Ammunition Storage Area, 75 miles south of Baghdad, Hiro Ucki, the inspectors' spokesman in Baghdad, said in a statement. The team examined one of the warheads with equipment and took away samfor chemical testing, the statement added. ples Ucki told The Associated Press the shells were not accounted for in Iraq's declaration.

Hossam Mohammed Amin, the chief Iraqi liaison officer to the inspection teams, e shells imported in 1988 said they were in mentioned and Iraq's report. He expressed "astonishment" over what he called "no more than a storm in a teacup." Amin said the inspectors found the munitions in a sealed box that had never been opened and was covered by dust and bird droppings. "When these boxes were opened, they found 122 mm rockets with empty warheads. No chemical or biological warheads. Just empty rockets which are expired and imported in 1988," Amin told reporters, adding similar ordnance was found by U.N. inspectors in 1997. David Albright, a former nuclear weapons inspector in Iraq, said the discovery would represent a violation "if Iraq knew that these warheads existed and they are for chemical weapons." Another former inspector said that at one time, Iraq had thousands of warheads filled with chemishort-rang- CAMPUS. JANUARY Martin without the possibility of parole. Sentencing will be next month.
