WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: We want to begin this hour in Baghdad with a story involving U.N. weapons inspectors who went to a mosque today. Let's go right to our senior international correspondent Nic Robertson in Baghdad for these late-breaking details. First of all, tell us about this visit to a mosque, Nic.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SR. INTL. CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, just a few minutes ago, the Iman, plus the Al Nidaa Mosque in Baghdad. Now, this mosque, just to give some background to this particularly mosque, is the largest new mosque in Baghdad. It was government funded and it was only opened in May last year. So it has just been constructed very recently. Now the Iman of mosque came here to the information ministry to give a press conference. He said that on Monday, five U.N. weapons inspectors have visited the mosque. He said that in itself was not a problem, they had taken their shoes off and gone in into. He said they continued to ask questions about the engineering, how many people attended prayers there. He said this had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. He said that the mosque only contained people who went there to pray, the faithful. He called the act in itself of going there and asking these questions provocative.</s>ROBERTSON: Now, the Iman said that had the inspectors gone there when there had been a congregation of the mosque, then it could have been very dangerous. He said that prayergoers would not have tolerated this situation. He said what he wanted to do was call for an Islamic position from all Muslims, an Islamic position on the inspections in Iraq, an Islamic position in particular, and he pointed a lot of his anger here against the United States, Muslim position on the United States on what he said the United States aggression towards Iraq -- Wolf.</s>BLITZER: Nic Robertson in Baghdad with the very latest on that visit to a mosque.
