Inquiry to open into dead British arms expert.
(From Agence France Presse)
An independent judicial inquiry into the death of David Kelly, the man at the centre of a furore over the way Britain went to war against Iraq, begins in the spotlight of the world's media.
Lord Hutton will open a preliminary hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London at 11am (1000 GMT), at which he will set out how he intends to conduct his inquiry and hear applications from interested parties.
The inquiry, which Lord Hutton has discussed with Kelly's widow, will then be adjourned until after the arms expert's funeral next Wednesday.
Lord Hutton, 72, a former chief justice in Northern Ireland, will allow television cameras to broadcast his opening address, but has banned any subsequent filming.
Kelly, a respected Ministry of Defence expert on Iraqi biological weapons and a former UN arms inspector, was found dead with a slit wrist on July 18, three days after he was grilled by a parliamentary committee investigating the government's intelligence claims.
The BBC has said the father-of-three was the source of their May 29 report -- hotly disputed by the prime minister's office -- that Tony Blair's staff had "sexed up" a September 2002 dossier on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to beef up the case for war.
