    Britse wapenexpert vermist

    Gepubliceerd op vrijdag 18 juli 2003

    De Britse regeringsadviseur en wapenexpert David Kelly wordt vermist. Er is een nog niet geïdentificeerd lichaam gevonden. Kelly zou een van de bronnen zijn van de BBC, die Blair ervan beschuldigt dat hij de Iraakse dreiging heeft overdreven.
    De 59-jarige Kelly wordt sinds donderdagmiddag vermist. Hij vertrok uit zijn woning in Southmoor, Oxfordshire. Zijn familie schakelde de politie in toen hij rond middernacht nog niet was teruggekeerd. De politie vond vanochtend een lichaam bij Harrowdean Hill in Farringdon, in de buurt van zijn woning. Het is nog niet geïdentificeerd.

    Eerder deze week werd Kelly aangewezen als de belangrijkste bron voor een nieuwsbericht van de BBC, waarin de omroep de Britse premier Tony Blair ervan beschuldigde de bewijzen voor de massavernietigingswapens van Irak te hebben aangedikt. Kelly ontkent gelekt te hebben, maar gaf wel toe BBC-correspondent Andrew Gilligan, die het verhaal schreef, ontmoet te hebben.

    Ook een parlementscommissie die de bewijzen onderzoekt verklaarde dat het 'hoogst onwaarschijnlijk' is dat Kelly de hoofdbron van de BBC was, maar zei wel dat Kelly 'slecht behandeld' is door de regering. Het Britse ministerie van Defensie ontkent dit. Kelly is adviseur van de regering en was voorheen wapeninspecteur in Irak.

    Volgens de politie is Kelly een fervent wandelaar die regelmatig lange tochten maakt, maar zou het ongebruikelijk zijn als hij zomaar in zijn eentje op pad is gegaan. Zijn verdwijning en het uitblijven van contact wordt door zijn familie omschreven als 'atypisch' voor Kelly.

    Donderdagmorgen doorzocht de politie Kelly's huis en andere gebouwen op zijn landgoed. Ook werd een helikopter ingezet. In ziekenhuizen in de omgeving is evenmin een spoor van Kelly.

    Julie zoeken overal wat achter :-) Greenspan stuwt altijd rond 21:00 DJ omhoog en nu MI 5 weer die iemand laat verdwijnen!? De beste man schijnt gewoon door een dolgeslagen beer te grazen genomen zijn.

    Missing MoD 'mole': body found

    Tom Happold and Ciar Byrne
    Friday July 18, 2003

    Police searching for Dr David Kelly, the government adviser named as the possible source for the BBC's report claiming the government "sexed up" a key intelligence dossier on Iraq, found a man's body today.
    The 59-year-old went missing from his home in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, at 3pm yesterday afternoon after telling his wife he was going for a walk, according to Thames Valley police.

    Police said the unidentified male body was discovered this morning at Harrowdown Hill, about five miles from Dr Kelly's home in Abingdon. Officers have confirmed that there have been no other missing person reports in the area.

    His family contacted police when he had failed to return by 11.45pm yesterday, two days after he gave evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into the affair.

    Dr Kelly, who volunteered to give evidence to the foreign affairs select committee (FAC), admitted to MPs last week he had met the BBC defence correspondent, Andrew Gilligan, on three occasions since September 2002.

    With two Ministry of Defence police sitting behind him, Dr Kelly confirmed he met Gilligan in a central London hotel on the same day that the reporter said he met his sole source at a central London hotel.

    But Dr Kelly said he did not believe he could be the primary source of the report at the centre of a bitter row between the BBC and No 10.

    "I believe I am not the main source. From the conversation I had with him I don't see how he could make the authoritative statements he was making from the comments that I made," Dr Kelly said.

    Committee members were critical of the government's handling of Dr Kelly, saying he had been the "fall guy" and had been "poorly treated" by the defence minister.

    Sir Richard Ottaway, a Tory member of the FAC, told Sky News that if the body was Dr Kelly, it "threw into stark relief the actions of the spin doctors within Downing Street and the Labour government".

    He added that "an innocent scientist used in this way demands an inquiry at the highest level".

    Although Sir Richard defended the FAC questioning of Dr Kelly on Tuesday, he said: "We thought he'd been put up quite deliberately to distract us from the case of the government's case for war."

    "What I do regret is the way that he was quite obviously used by the government and the ministry of defence in this situation."

    The MoD has consistently stood by its claims that Dr Kelly was the sole source of the story, pointing to Gilligan's evidence that he had relied on one source and that three other sources mentioned had not discussed the September dossier or had done so only later.

    Dr Kelly has been under enormous pressure since he admitted making contact with Gilligan. He was officially reprimanded for having an "unauthorised" meeting with a journalist, and recently complained that his home was surrounded by journalists.

    This morning a MoD spokeswoman said that Dr Kelly had not been in work for the last couple of days, he had however been in regular contact with his line manager. She added that Dr Kelly's reprimand was considered the end of any disciplinary action.

    Prime Minister Tony Blair was informed of the discovery of the body as he flew from Washington to Tokyo on his diplomatic marathon, Downing Street confirmed.

    Earlier a spokesman for No 10 said: "We are obviously very concerned about the welfare of Dr Kelly and hope that he returns safely. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."

    Sir Richard, a member of the foreign affairs committee, said Dr Kelly had recently alluded to the level of pressure he was under.

    "At the meeting last week he did hint at the sort of pressure he was under," Mr Ottaway said.

    "He was asked to provide some evidence and he replied that he would do so but he could not get into his house because of the media pressure."

    The chairman of the committee, Donald Anderson, said he was "shocked" by the news of Dr Kelly's disappearance.

    "When he appeared before the committee, yes, he was softly spoken, but he seemed to be pretty relaxed and the committee was not at all aggressive or hostile in our questioning of him," he said.
