- <p> U.N. investigators might have found it easier to piece
- together information on Iraq's nuclear capabilities if U.S.
- Customs agent Daniel Supnick had made a little trip to Baghdad
- two years ago. In 1989, posing undercover as a California
- electronics executive, Supnick met in London with Iraqi
- officials eager to buy 5,000-volt capacitors for use in
- triggering nuclear devices. When the Iraqis invited Supnick to
- tour their nuclear facilities back home, Supnick wanted to give
- it a try. But the State Department nixed the idea as too risky
- for the agent.
