The Bush administration is beefing up its weapons inspection team in Iraq, tripling the number of engineers and scientists already on the job.

The administration claims that Iraqi officials told American investigators Saddam Hussein may have ordered the destruction of weapons before the war started. U.S. General Tommy Franks says finding the weapons may require searching thousands of sites.

Eric Schmitt, reporter for the New York Times.
