Body found in Iraq expert search



BBC, Friday, 18 July, 2003, 10:30 GMT 11:30 UK



Police searching for the weapons expert named by the government as the possible source for a BBC story on Iraq say they have discovered a man's body.



The body was found at 0920 BST by a member of the police team searching for Dr Kelly in a wooded area at Harrowdown Hill, near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, but has not yet been identified.



Government adviser David Kelly, 59, went missing from his home in Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, at about 1500 BST on Thursday.







The body was found around five miles from his home.



Earlier this week, Dr Kelly denied being the BBC's main source for a story claiming Downing Street had "sexed up" a dossier about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.



He appeared before the Commons foreign affairs committee on Tuesday.



Acting superintendent Dave Purnell, of Thames Valley Police, said: "What I would ask is because of the considerable amount of media interest is that the family are treated with respect and are not contacted at this time."
