Iraq to Destroy Missiles Within 24 Hours
(AP) - Iraq agreed Friday to begin destroying its Al Samoud 2 missiles within 24 hours, Iraqi sources said. Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix, who set the Saturday deadline, called the decision "a very significant piece of real disarmament." The destruction of the finned white rockets is seen as a key test of Baghdad's resolve to disarm and avert a U.S.-led war. Predictably, the 11th-hour concession was greeted with celebration by governments opposed to war and skepticism by those advocating it.
