Rolf Ekeus, the Swede who led the UN's efforts to track down the weapons from 1991 to 1997, said that the offer came from Tariq Aziz, Saddam's foreign minister and deputy.

Mr Ekeus told Reuters news agency that he had passed the information to the Volcker Commission. "I told the Volcker people that Tariq [Aziz] said a couple of million was there if we report right. My answer was, 'That is not the way we do business in Sweden.' "

Not Blix.

I don't know where Mr Aziz is right now BUT, if this report is accurate, Mr Aziz should be hung in the public square in memory of the 1500+ brave US soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of Iraq!
