The body of Dr Kelly – the weapons expert who exposed Blair’s ‘dodgy dossier’ to illegally invade Iraq – has been exhumed.

2088

Dr Kelly exposed the scandal surrounding the Blair government’s ‘sexed up dodgy dossier’ which Blair referenced when he lied to the British House of Commons with his claims that:

‘Saddam Hussein has Weapons of mass destruction capable of being launched within 45 minutes.’

Weapons expert & 59-year-old scientist Kelly confided to a BBC journalist, 2 years into the second Iraq War. He told Andrew Gilligan he was “concerned about the (WMD) claims” in an off the record conversation in 2003.

Thames Valley Police released a statement saying this had been done “at the request of Dr Kelly’s family.”
