U.N. inspectors wrap up key Iraq weapons visit
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Chief U.N. weapons inspectors, wrapping up a critical two-day visit, urged Iraq officials yesterday to look again in their nuclear, chemical and biological "stocks and stores" to ensure they have no weapons-making to report.
Iraq's position that it has no weapons of mass destruction "must be convincingly shown by documentation, by evidence," said Hans Blix, head of the U.N. weapons-hunting team. "We don't think that has yet been convincingly done."
Iraqi officials confirmed they would meet a U.N. deadline and file by Dec. 8 a comprehensive list of nuclear, chemical and biological programs, including any meant to develop weapons.
The two U.N. officials offered a "light at the end of the tunnel" for Iraq, however, saying that if the Baghdad government cooperates fully with their inspections, they might be able to report in about one year that it has compiled with Security Council requirements
Kuwait-based U.S. forces prepare for war on Iraq
UDAIRA RANGE, Kuwait — Apache helicopter-fired Hellfire missiles and high-explosive artillery shells rocked the desert just miles from the Iraqi border yesterday as U.S. forces prepared for a possible war on Iraq.
If Iraq obstructs the U.N. weapons inspectors' work trying to track down Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction, U.S. soldiers on maneuvers in northern Kuwait may be called on by President Bush to attack Saddam's forces and topple the Iraqi leader.
While all hinges on the results of inspections led by chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix, U.S. forces based in Kuwait say they are ready to wage
war on Saddam's regime if Bush gives the green light.
Oil tanker breaks in two; dangerous spill expected
MADRID, Spain — An oil tanker carrying 20 million gallons of fuel oil broke in two and sank yesterday in the Atlantic Ocean, threatening a spill nearly twice as big as the Exxon Valdez's and an environmental catastrophe along a scenic Spanish coastline.
The hope was that the oil would sink and harden in waters more than two miles deep before it could inflict disaster and engulf the area's rich fishing grounds. But it has already soiled 125 miles of Spanish coastline, and its highly viscous and toxic load is far bigger than the 10.92 million gallons dumped off Alaska by the Exxon Valdez in 1989. As the Bahamas-flagged tanker Prestige sank, it leaked some oil but it was not clear how much.
Rumsfeld: western nations must work to combat crime
Hemisphere security depends on eliminating the havens that international criminals use, Rumsfeld said at the defense ministers' meeting. He left the meeting Tuesday and stopped Tuesday night in Washington on the way to a NATO summit in Prague, Czech Republic.
SANTIAGO, Chile — Other Western Hemisphere nations must control their territories better to combat drug trafficking, terrorism and other crime that thrives in ungoverned areas, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told a regional security meeting yesterday.
"In this hemisphere, narcoterrorists, hostage takers and arms smugglers operate in ungoverned areas, using them as bases from which to destabilize democratic governments," Rumsfeld said. "Elected governments have the responsibility to exercise sovereign authority, conferred at the ballot box, throughout their national territories."
