CAIRO (AFP) - The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reiterated a call for arms inspectors to return to Iraq (news - web sites), saying he had asked the UN Security Council for a green light to do so.

Mohamed ElBaradei, speaking at a conference at the University of Cairo, said the IAEA's "mandate for the inspection of weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq) is still in force."

He said IAEA "inspectors should return there and the Security Council should give its green light for that return."

The inspectors pulled out of Iraq just before the outbreak of the US-led war to unseat Iraqi president Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) that began in March 2003.
