Developments in the Iraq crisis:
- President Bush told Saddam Hussein to flee Iraq soon or face a U.S.-led invasion, abandoning U.N. diplomacy to brace Americans for war within days.

- Saddam, giving no sign of heeding U.S. demands that he step down, warned that American forces will find an Iraqi fighter ready to die for his country ``behind every rock, tree and wall.''

- Bush asked Australia to participate in the ``coalition of the willing'' in a war against Iraq. Australia's Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch Bush supporter, will gather his government Tuesday for a meeting to consider the request.

- The United Nations ordered its weapons inspectors out of Iraq, widening the stream of diplomats and foreign journalists heading for the exits before any shooting starts.

- The United States and Britain urged their citizens to leave Kuwait immediately, citing the risk of chemical or biological attack by Iraq or by terrorists.

- U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix, ignoring the threat of a possibly imminent war, prepared to give the Security Council a 30-page report listing about a dozen key remaining disarmament tasks that Iraq should complete in the coming months.

- Turkey's top political and military leaders called on the government to take urgent action to allow in U.S. troops.

- British senior government minister Robin Cook quit as a revolt inside the ruling Labor Party escalated over Prime Minister Tony Blair's backing of military force to disarm Iraq without U.N. approval.

- Israel's military instructed Israelis to acquire all the equipment they need to protect themselves in case of an Iraqi attack.
