Dr David Kelly, a UN weapons inspector who died in highly suspicious circumstances

Dr David Kelly was an expert in biological warfare and a former UN weapons inspector in Iraq. Dr Kelly's disclosed to BBC Radio 4 journalist Andrew Gilligan that he disagreed fundamentally with the British government's dossier (later termed the "dodgy dossier") which purported to show the danger of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Kelly was found dead days after appearing before the Parliamentary Committee charged with investigating the scandal.[1] Suspicion regarding the claimed verdict of suicide has grown after evidence continues to emerge which challenges it.

Recent revelations (2015)

On 7 February 2015, the Daily Mail announced that PM David Cameron had leaked details from the Iraq Inquiry report which "will be a 'devastating' indictment of the Blair Government".[2]

Secret about David Cameron

On 8 February 2015, it was revealed that the Chilcot Inquiry had been tasked specifically with tracking down those responsible for “misplacing” three nuclear weapons obtained from apartheid South Africa 25 years ago. Both David Cameron and Dr David Kelly are understood to have been involved in the diversion of these WMD which eventually became the pretext for the Iraq War.[3]

Unfinished book

Dr Kelly was writing a book at the time of his death. He was intending to reveal that he warned Prime Minister Tony Blair there were no WMD in Iraq weeks before the US/UK led Iraq War. He had had several discussions with a publisher in Oxford and was seeking advice on how far he could go without breaking the Official Secrets Act. Following his death, his computers were seized by police.[4]

Death

Full article: David Kelly/Death

David Kelly was found dead days after appearing before the Parliamentary committee charged with investigating the scandal. A lot of evidence suggests that he was 'suicided', while the failure of the UK government to permit an inquest (the first such decision in a suspicious death case in several centuries) points to deep state involvement. In May 2006, Norman Baker MP stepped down as shadow environment secretary to investigate the death of David Kelly, and remarked that "the more I look into it the less convinced I am by the explanation and the more unanswered questions appear which ought to have been addressed properly by the Hutton inquiry or by the coroner."[5][6] A group of senior medical practitioners, including retired surgeon Dr David Halpin, formed and cited medical evidence claiming that for "all practical purposes" suicide using the means allegedly adopted by Dr Kelly "does not exist in Britain".[7]
