BAGHDAD, Friday (Reuters) - U.N. arms experts pounced on more suspect sites in Iraq on Friday, as their chiefs pondered an Iraqi invitation for talks in Baghdad ahead of a crucial report to the U.N. Security Council on February 14.

Iraqi officials said inspection teams from the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) drove to at least three sites near Baghdad on the Muslim day of rest.

An UNMOVIC missile team visited 7 Nissan Company in Nahrawan, 30 km (18 miles) east of Baghdad. The facility develops fuses for some Iraqi missile programmes.
