Americans leave Iraqi capital
55 dependents of U.S. diplomats leave Baghdad, head for Turkey
The Associated Press
ANKARA. Turkey — About 55 dependents of U.S. diplomats who were stranded for several days in Baghdad after fleeing Kuwait, left the Iraqi capital vesterday for Turkey, the U.S. Embassy here said.
Embassy spokesperson Carole Lee Heileman said the Americans sent Baghdad early morning in a raid on Al Qaeda.
Helleman said the group was expected to arrive at Turkey's Habur border post sometime in the afternoon or evening.

From there, they were to be taken by bus to the southern Turkish city of Diyarbakir 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 been stationed in the U.S., 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 Iraqi 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.
The U.S. Embassy sent about 100 diplomats and their dependents to Baghdad, where they were stranded when
Iraiqi President Saddam Hussein reversed an earlier promise and refused to let them leave.
But Saturday, Iraq's U.S. ambassador said in Washington that the wives and children of the American president are safe from harm.
"The dependents are going to be released," said Mohamed al-Mishat, 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
Getting Around In Kansas City...
By Jeff Kennard
The majority of Kansas City attractions and locations are easily accessible by the network or interstate and intrastate roadways within the city.
The main interstate highways and their primary direction of travel in the Kansas City area are as follows: 1-35, northwest to southwest; 1-70, east to west; 1-635, north to south, and 1-435 which circles the outer edge of the metropolitan area.
For those not familiar with these highways, the following information will provide directions from Lawrence to a few of the major Kansas City attractions. Since there are a variety of routes possible to reach each location, the information given will provide the one which is easiest and most efficient
There will be many references to 1-70 since it is a primary and direct route into Kansas City. This highway can be entered at either the east or west Lawrence turnip stations. The toll charge for travelling this road to Kansas City is $1.05 from the east ramp and $1.10 from the west.
Downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
Enter and remain on 1-70 east until you have passed the Louis and Clark bridge and the Missouri River. At this point
you may enter the downtown area by exiting 1-70 on the Broadway, Main, or other street exit. Once downtown, the numbered streets run east to west, and the named streets run north to south.
Harry S. Truman Sports Complex:
Enter and remain on 1-70 east in Kansas City, passing through downtown and continuing for approximately 10 additional miles.
After passing the 1-435 exit ramps, Royals Stadium will be visible to the right of the highway. Exit 1-70 at the Blue Ridge Cutoff ramp and enter the appropriate gate.
Westport:
Enter 1-70 east and continue into Kansas City, Missouri, passing the Louis and Clark bridge and Missouri River.
