Berlin set to send assessors

Berlin _ Berlin is ready to send environment experts to Iraq
under a United Nations mandate to examine the country's
condition after two wars and the dictatorship of former
leader Saddam Hussein, according to German cabinet minister.

Environment Minister Juergen Trittin said the mission would
cover the 1991 Gulf War which ousted Iraqi troops from
Kuwait, the war earlier this year against Saddam, and the
results of dictatorship.

``The British and the Americans have signalled their
agreement,'' he said. ``That is significant, because they
will also face some critical questions, such as the impact
of using depleted uranium munitions.''

Berlin was fiercely opposed to the war on Iraq, angering
Washington and straining ties.
