Exterior shot of the factory 14. Wide shot interior of the factory 15. Close up artillery devices 16. Various shots workers using lathes and components manufactured STORYLINE: A team of UN weapons inspectors on Wednesday drove to an industrial zone north of Baghdad to inspect sites at an al-Karama facility, a company long involved in missile production. The plant had been a focus of concern when inspectors were last in Iraq in 1998. Inspectors combed over the factory then, and it was subsequently bombed by the US. Four years later the plant is once more under scrutiny, as inspectors searched for signs of outlawed missiles. Under UN resolutions adopted after Iraq's defeat in the Gulf War, Iraq is forbidden to possess missiles with a range greater than 90 miles (150 kilometres). But recent US and British intelligence reports contend Iraq is working on new missiles with a longer range, and is extending the range of its new al-Sumood missile - manufactured at the complex - beyond the approved 90 mile (150 kilometre) limit. Seeking evidence of such work, the inspectors pored through reams of documents and computer files at al-Karama's facility and questioned staff about their activities.
