Turkey sometime today, she said.
From there, they were to be taken by bus to the southern Turkish city of Diyarabakir and flown out
She said the 55 were all dependents of U.S. personnel who had been stationed in the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. "An additional 54 or 55 personnel, mostly men, who had gone to war with Iraq and we have not secured their release," Heilman said.
Earlier this week, Iraq gave a Friday deadline for nations to close their embassies in Kuwait, claiming its oil rich neighbor as part of Iraq territory. Iraq annexed Kuwait six days after its Aug. 2 invasion of the emirate
But the United States, most European nations and many other countries have refused to close their embassies in Kuwait City, instead reducing personnel there to a minimum.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein reversed an earlier promise and refused to let them leave.
The U.S. Embassy sent about 100 diplomats and their dependents to Baghdad, where they were stranded when
But Saturday, Iraq's U.S. ambassador said in Washington that the wives and children of the American president were under attack.
"The dependents are going to be released," said Mohamed al-Maashat, summoned to the State Department.
"Some of them will be leaving soon." However, he said the diplomats would be treated "just like anybody else," meaning they will be detained. He said that although Iraq and the United States "are on the brink of a catastrophe," Baghdad was not going to use force against the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait
In all, about 21,000 foreigners have been caught in Iraq and Kuwait, including

Worlds of Fun amusement park and Oceans of Fun water park, just 45 minutes from Lawrence, offer an exciting escape from the demands of school.
Worlds of Fun, a 230-acre entertainment complex, features 140 rides, shows and attractions. The complex is open 10-9 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday through Aug. 27. After Aug. 27, Worlds of Fun is open only on Friday and Saturday.
Worlds of Fun is the region's largest entertainment complex. Here you can experience hair-raising roller coaster rides, body-twirling carnival rides, festival-type games, gifts and souvenir shops, and restaurants and refreshment stands.
Roller coaster rides such as the Timber Wolf, a high-speed wooden roller coaster, and the Orient Express, a looping metal roller coaster, will satisfy your need for speed, screams and dives. The Timber Wolf recently ranked number two in the world, according to the readers of Inside Track, the international newsletter for roller coaster enthusiasts. After riding the Timber Wolf, Clay Romeiser, KU senior said, "You go so fast that half of the time the cars seem like they are coming off the tracks." Other favorites such as the Fury of the Nile, the Viking Voyager, the Finnish Fling, the Omegatron and the Zulu are sure to make your visit memorable. The newest attraction, the Python Plunge, is a speedy descent down a water slide on a raft. For something more tame, the festival games where you can win prizes for tossing rings, shooting targets and more.
If your appetite becomes irrepressible, there is a sit down restaurant overlooking the Viking
Voyager. The park is also loaded with fast food snack bars.
Oceans of Fun, a tropically-themed water park opens daily at 10 a.m. and features 35 water-related attractions to escape the summer Oceans of Fun is open until 7 p.m. during the weekend and until 8 p.m. on the weekend. You can choose from Honolulu Lulu, Maui Wowee and Waikili Wipeout, the three water slides at Oceans of Fun's Diamond Head. In addition, you can join in the fun at the Surf City Wave Pool, Oceans of Fun's million-gallon attraction. Enjoy riding the Typhoon, a dual racing-speed slide. "That slide is a roller coaster, except you're in a swimsuit and you get all wet!" said John McKenna, KU senior, after riding the Typhoon.
If your idea of a fun day is a lazy afternoon floating down a river, try the Caribbean Cooler, in which you float 810 feet around the park on an innertube. Float your own boat at Buccaneer Bay, Oceans of Fun's paddle boat lake. If you find you are a little thirsty, swim right up to the Castaway Cove, Oceans of Fun's swim up bar.
In addition, Oceans of Fun offers 10 restaurants, refreshment stands, and food and drink carts throughout the park. Oceans of Fun provides you with an arcade and souvenir shops.
Tickets for a day of unlimited travel on the rides at Oceans of Fun are $13.95/person at the entrance. A passport for a day of unlimited rides at Words of Fun is $18.95/person at the entrance. Parking is $3/car.
Watch for specials such as two-for-one passports with a pop can. Tickets can also be purchased for both parks at a discount through the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union.
