Iraq Hasn't Cooperated, Arms Inspector Reports

<< Finding Revives Prospect of Airstrikes

U.N. arms inspectors set a fresh collision course with Iraq last night, reporting that the Baghdad government failed to honor the promises of cooperation that prompted President Clinton to call off a major military attack against it a month ago.

Noting "no progress" on disarmament and "new forms of restrictions" by Iraq on the inspectors, Executive Chairman Richard Butler of the U.N. Special Commission wrote that his panel "is not able to conduct the substantive disarmament work mandated to it by the Security Council."

A White House statement last night said only that Iraq's resumed defiance is "a serious matter" that Clinton would take up with his advisers. Defense and national security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that an American-led military strike on Iraq is now nearly inevitable, and may be imminent. -- cont'd -- >>
