Question: What is the reference for the quotation used by the Earl of Arran on 18 April at 527 c91-2WA from the report by UN Under Secretary General Ahtisaari, on his recent visit to Iraq, which appeared to modify the statements in paragraph 8 of Mr Ahtisaari's report of 20 March (UNSCS/22366) that "the recent conflict had wrought new apocalyptic results on the economic infrastructure of Iraq" by stating that allied precision bombing had been "remarkably precise".
