London - Ms Glenys Kinnock MEP, wife of the former Labour leader, Mr Neil Kinnock, had alerted the Foreign Office six months ago that Sudan was involved in chemical weapons production.
She met Sudanese opposition leaders and had a discussion with Sudanese military personnel during a trip to Ethiopia and Eritrea in February. On her return, she told the Foreign Office that Iraqi scientists were working with the National Islamic Front, Sudan's ruling party.
