Is Iraq really an atomic threat? Pentagon says "very crude' bomb likely within a year U.N. inspectors found no proof of possible nuclear capability
WASHINGTON - Pentagon estimates that Iraq could produce a "very crude" nuclear device within a year have prompted concern that it could be used against U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, a spokesperson said yesterday.
Pete Williams, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney's spokesperson, repeated Cheney's statement that Iraq was on the verge of obtaining a nuclear device, an attack that could have gone outside experts and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
Williams also said that the Pentagon's latest estimates indicated that Iraq had 450,000 troops in the Kuwaiti theater of operations, an increase of 20,000 over last week.
"Iraq continues to move forces around within Iraq and within the Kuwaiti theater of operations," he said. Half
Debate about Iraq's nuclear capabilities swirled in advance of the U.N. Security Council's debate this week on a resolution allowing the use of force against Iraq if necessary.
Elaborating on comments that Cheney made over the weekend about nuclear weapons, Williams said the defense chief was aware that Iraq could have some kind of crude device in less than a year.
Such a device might not be delivered from an airplane or used in the traditional sense of a nuclear weapon but would be capable of doing some damage or producing some kind of yield, he said.
Williams said officials had relatively new intelligence estimates on Iraq's alleged nuclear program.
"They range from . . . a matter of years or less to having some kind of crude device, to one of five to 10 years in terms of having a deliverable system," he said. Asked if the Pentagon believed that the 230,000 U.S. truck drivers would be under any threat of nuclear attack, Williams said. "It would be accurate to say we're concerned about it."

VIENNA, Austria — Two inspectors who visited Israel's nuclear plants last week found no evidence that Baghdad is developing atomic weapons for its arsenal, the international Atomic Energy Agency reported yesterday.
A brief statement by the United Nations agency said "no change had taken place in the status of nuclear material under safeguards" at the four sites since the last routine inspection in April.
The statement said inspectors in April also accounted for all nuclear materials registered by Iraq with the agency, indicating none had been diverted to develop weapons or have been used in war against the multinational forces in Saudi Arabia.
President Bush last week told U.S. troops in the region that their mission to push Iraq's Saddam Hussein out of occupied Kuwait was marked by "a real sense of the House of Mugabe's headway in acquiring nuclear arms."
While the inspectors found no diversion of nuclear material, Pentagon spokesperson Pete Williams repeated the U.S. position that Iraq is continuing with its program to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Nigerian and Soviet inspectors toured Iraq's two research reactors, a storage and a fuel-producing plant last week at Baghdad's invitation, agency spokesperson Hans-Friedrich Mever said.
Both inspectors had led verification groups into Iraq before. Meyer said. He declined to reveal their names.
They apparently checked on a 27-pound mass of highly-enriched uranium that Iraq salvaged from its Osraku nuclear reactor, which was destroyed by an Israeli air attack in 1981.
Some analysts in Israel, which closely tracks Iraq's arms program, believe Baghdad could be two to five years away from producing its own atomic warheads for missiles or nuclear bombs to be dropped from jets.
U.S., Mexico reach trade agreements
The Associated Press
Bush wrapped up a two-day state visit and talks with Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari with new agreements on oil investment, border crossings and educational exchanges
MONTERREY, Mexico — President Bush said yesterday the U.S. economic slowdown could make it harder to obtain a free-trace pact with Mexico but pledged to "write a new page in North American history" with his veto pen if necessary to stop protectionist bills.
In a joint statement issued from this northern Mexico industrial city, Bush and Salinas proclaimed "excellent cooperation" between their governments and reiterated a mutual call for a free-trade agreement.
In a key agreement, the pair resolved a U.S. Mexican disagreement over the question of whether Mexico's vast oil industry should be open to U.S. or other foreign investment. Salinas has insisted the staterun and subsidized oil industry be exempt from the free-trade talks.

The two presidents also announced that both governments would work toward opening nine new border points-of-entry to case congestion at crossing stations and to make it easier for both U.S. citizens and Mexicans to travel across each other's borders.
Brady told reporters that the dispute had been eased by Mexico's agreement to allow an Export-Import Bank loan for drilling and supplying equipment in Mexican oil exploration.
