U.S., 4 Other Nations Get Iraq Arms Report

By DAFNA LINZER, Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In a surprise decision late Sunday, the Security Council agreed to give the United States, Russia, France, China and Britain full access to Iraq's arms declaration, U.N. officials and diplomats said.

The decision overrides one made Friday to distribute censored copies to the council and means that Washington won't have to wait to begin its own analysis and translation of the 12,000 pages Iraq turned over to weapons inspectors on Saturday in Baghdad.

Under Sunday's agreement, the other 10 council members, including Syria, will only see the declaration once it is translated, analyzed and gleaned of sensitive material — including possible instructions on bomb-making.
