its weapons arsenal UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iraq has informed the United Nations that it still has 52 Scud missiles and 30 chemical-weapo- n warheads diplomats said today The information was contained in a document Iraq’s UN Mission gave the United Nations on Iraq’s remaining weapons Iraqi Ambassador Abdul Amir said that no biological weapons were included on the list UN diplomatic sources speaking on condition of anonymity said today the document listed one Scud missile and 51 Scuds an Iraqi adaptation of the Soviet medium-rang- e missile The document listed possession of 23 warheads with conventional weapons and 30 warheads with chemical weapons said the document complied with the demands of the Security Council cease-fir- e resolution that required Iraq to accept the destruction removal or disabling of chemical and bio- logical weapons and ballistic missiles with a range greater than 90 miles The United Nations has not said whether the document fulfills the conditions laid down in resolution the cease-fir- e However State Department officials in Washington said today that the Iraqi response was inadequate and that they would have a detailed response at their daily briefing resolution Under the cease-fir- e approved April 3 Iraq must provide “a declaration of the locations amounts and types” of those items Iraq’s chemical biological and nuclear sites and its Scud missiles were prime targets of the allied air attack on Iraq that began Jan 17 Iraq fired the missiles at Isra- el and Saudi Arabia during the war but never carried out its threat to use chemical
