POWELL’S PIX WILL BULLDOZE IRAQI DENIALS
By NILES LATHEM


January 31, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell next week will show the U.N. Security Council dramatic photographs of Iraqi agents carrying truckloads of documents and bulldozing suspected chemical-weapons facilities hours before the arrival of U.N. weapons inspectors, it was revealed last night.

Powell also will unveil secret photos of tractor-trailers with abnormally large vents. The trucks are suspected to be Iraq’s mobile bio-weapons labs.

The photos will be part of a multimedia presentation to make the administration’s case for war, U.S. officials told The Post.

Powell will use slides and charts, as well as information from defectors and moles, to help him make the case that Saddam Hussein’s regime is pressuring scientists not to cooperate with inspectors.

The information also will demonstrate that Saddam is actively importing chemicals, metal tubes and other materials that could be used to produce weapons of mass destruction, officials said.

CBS News last night reported that Powell may release intercepts that reveal Iraqi officials told workers at weapons plants to clean up before inspectors get there - and what to tell them.

Administration officials described the intelligence information to be unveiled in Powell’s presentation Wednesday as similar but more detailed than the allegations made by President Bush in his State of the Union Address.
