IRAQ REDUX? U.S. officials fear a new crisis could arise by the fall.

They reject Iraq's view that a "road map" toward compliance with United Nations inspections means the end of sanctions. Chief U.N. inspector Butler said Thursday that Baghdad still is withholding data on some biological and chemical weapons. The U.S. will demand full disclosure on how Saddam Hussein deceived inspectors for eight years.

Top Pentagon officials see a new confrontation by October, when the U.N. is scheduled to again review sanctions. They expect Saddam to play the role of victim, perhaps provoking an incident. Even if Iraq satisfies weapons inspectors, the U.S. is insisting he comply with other U.N. resolutions on such areas as human rights.

Saddam's eight-year track record suggests he isn't going to comply, says a top U.S. aide.
