Ms. Vedrell has covered Iraq for the past 15 years and came in contact with the scientist, alleged to possess information about an unknown Iraqi weapons programme. The scientist has shown maps and documents containing information on the whereabouts of weapons and other documentation on a weapons project unknown to the UN. Through Swedish diplomat Rolf Ekeus , Maria Wera Cedrell contacted Ake Sellström at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, an assignment-based authority under the Swedish Ministry of Defence. Two Swedish experts went to Baghdad in mid-June posing as journalists and stayed for about a week. - During this time we found a box of missiles in a house in central Baghdad., which Iraqi scientists say could be used for transportation of weapons of mass destruction, says Maria Wera Cedrell to Swedish evening daily Expressen. The team also found documents that could prove to be " the smoking gun" proof of Iraqi possesion of weapons of mass destruction. All the "evidence" found by the team is going to be presented in a TV documentary and a book project. The Swedish experts at SDRA are sworn to secrecy until the project is launched. SDRA describes the "evidence" as "very interesting pieces in a puzzle" to the Swedish news Agency TT. Neither the Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson nor the U.S. administration were let in on the scheme and the Swedish Foreign Office has declined to comment.
