A mass grave in northern Iraq has been found to contain the remains of toddlers clutching toys.
European forensic investigators are refusing to take part in the excavations.
Mr Kehoe said that work to uncover graves around Iraq, where about 300,000 people are thought to have been killed during Saddam Hussein’s regime, was slow as experienced European investigators were not taking part.
The Europeans, he said, were staying away as the evidence might be used eventually to put Saddam Hussein to death.
