The Telegraph - London - 11/04/98

By Alan Philps, Middle East Correspondent

IRAQ remained defiant yesterday as Britain and American warned Saddam Hussein that all options, including force, were open to
make him comply with United Nations resolutions.

Robin Cook, the Foreign Secretary, said in a Commons statement: "We remain ready to use all options. We have 12 Tornados
already in the Gulf."

William Cohen, the US defence secretary, has begun a tour of European and Arab states designed to bolster support among its
allies for a tough response to Saddam's challenge to the UN Security council. Mr Cohen met George Robertson, the Defence
Secretary, in London yesterday.

Hoping to exploit divisions among members of the Security Council, Iraq announced on Saturday that it was ceasing to co-operate
with UN inspectors charged with liquidating the country's chemical and biological weapons. But the UN Security Council has
condemned the action unanimously and even China, which opposes the use of force against Iraq, called for Baghdad to climb down.

Security Council members were meeting in New York yesterday to draft a formal response, expected to be a sharp condemnation. It
was not clear if the resolution would threaten military action against Iraq. However, Washington believes that it already has approval
from the Security Council for air strikes.
