Clinton, Zedillo address new anti-drug policies
MERIDA, Mexico — President Clinton said America's leaders must "keep our

eye on the ball," as he plumed yesterday into his post-impeachment term with initiatives to encourage Mexico's frustrated drug war and expand its market for U.S. exports.
Clinton: Encourages Mexico to continue war on drusas.
Answering Mexican and U.S. congressional complaints that the current process is vague, one-sided and political, Clinton and Zedillo outlined today 16 measures — including extraditions by Mexico and dealing with United States consumers' demand for illegal drugs.
In two weeks, Clinton must, in the face of unfulfilled extradition promises and dropping drug seizures, render a formal evaluation of Mexico's cooperation in shutting down the narcotics trade.
“our courses are converging,” Clinton told Mexicans in an address at the Peon Contreas Theater.
Clinton and President Ernesto Zedillo agreed to tighten the evaluation of drug-fighting performance on both sides of
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq will attack a Turkish base for U.S. warplanes — and other American and British bases in the region — if the jets continue to patrol the skies over Iraq, the Iraqi vice president warned yesterday.
Iraq threatens to attack U.S. jets based in Turkey
Taha Yassin Ramadan's threat, stated in an interview with Radio Monte Carlo, monitored in Baghdad, marked the first time in years that Iraq has threatened to attack neighboring Turkey.
U. S. jets based at Incirlik, in south Turkey, have struck almost daily at Iraqi defense sites after being targeted by Iraqi defenses while patrolling the "nofly" zone over the north of the country.
Ramadan threatened attacks on the Incirlik base and repeated Iraq's threat Sunday on other bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait from which U.S. and British jets patrol a southern no-fly zone.
Serbia willing to grant Albanians wide self-rule
PARIS — Serbia is willing to make major compromises and grant rival ethnic Albanians broad self-rule, but it adamantly opposes having NATO troops police a Kosovo agreement, the republic's president said yesterday.
For the first time since the Kosovo peace conference started Feb. 6, Milan Milutinovic indicated Serbs were willing to give up most of the demands that have stalled the talks — with the exception of NATO peacekeeping troops.
Asked whether the proposed NATO deployment was the major sticking point and the rest was negotiable, he said: "Yes, that is right."
Mulinivic said any NATO deployment would "badly damage our sovereignty" and that NATO bombing raids in the absence of an agreement would amount to "an aggression and a war crime."
On Sunday, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright伯敏 Miliutinovic at a Paris meeting that Serbian sources described as extremely unpleasant.
The Associated Press
NATO already is making plans to send as many as 30,000 troops into Kosovo, including 4,000 U.S. troops.
But the Albanians want NATO troops to police any agreement because they don't trust the Serbian government.
