Iraq Backs Away From U.N. Demand to Set Arms Terms
By JULIA PRESTON

UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 11 Iraq, ignoring rising global pressure for thorough inspections of its weapons programs, has backed away from agreements reached last week on minimum conditions for the inspectors to carry out their work, diplomats said today.

In a letter that became public today, Iraq did not meet a specific request to confirm agreements it made last week in Vienna with Hans Blix, the leader of the United Nations weapons inspection team. Instead, Iraq insisted on further discussions of even basic logistical arrangements.
