UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Thursday that he had given all he knew to Volcker's Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) on Oil-for-Food program in Iraq.

Annan told reporters at UN headquarters in New York that he will leave Volcker and his group to look into the whole issue and get into bottom of the allegations.

"As I indicated, Volcker will be looking into all that," he said. "I will leave him to it."

"I've give them all that I know," the Secretary-General stressed.

The committee said Tuesday it would again investigate Annan after an e-mail suggested he may have known more than he claimed about a multimillion-dollar UN contract awarded to the company that employed his son.
