Saudi Arabia restricts U.S.,I|

Albright
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia
will not allow its territory to be used to attack Iraq, a se
nior Saudi official said Sunday, complicating U.S. efforts
to get full cooperation from all countries in the region.
Even U.N. Security Council approval of an attack
would not change the Saudi position, the Saudi offi
cial told The Associated Press, speaking on condition
of anonymity.
“Saudi Arabia will not allow any strikes against Iraq,
under any circumstances, from its soil or bases in Saudi
Arabia, due to the sensitivity of the issue in the Arab and
Muslim world,” the official said. !
Reticence on the part of Saudi
Arabia — America’s closest ally in k* Alii
the Persian Gulf— indicates just
how hard it may be for Secretary of y
State Madeleine Albright to muster
support for a military strike.
The United States has plenty [Jl
of fighter jets and troops afloat in rY !
the Persian Gulf, but it relied
heavily on Saudi and Turkish
bases during the 1991 Gull War.
These days, Turkey, too, is re- |
luctant to allow itself to be used
as a launching pad. Ankara an
nounced Sunday it would send
Foreign Minister Ismail Gem to Baghdad to help nego
tiate a diplomatic end to the standoff between die Unit
ed Nations and Iraq over U.N. weapons inspections.
Iraq has been sparring with U.N. inspectors and the
United States over access to suspected weapons sites,
and U.S. calls for military strikes have been getting
louder in recent weeks.
Bill Richardson, the U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, said Sunday he has received commitments
from two countries to publicly support the United
States should it decide to attack Iraq.
“The United States will not be alone,” Richardson
said during a world forum in Davos, Switzerland. I le re
fused to identify the countries.
The U.N. inspectors must certify Iraq has destroyed
all of its weapons of mass destruction before the U.N.
Security Council will lift tough economic sanctions im
posed after Iraq invaded neighboring Kuwait in 1990,
prompting the GulfWar.
The Security Council insists on unfettered access
for its inspectors; Iraq contends access to some
sites, including presidential palaces, would violate
its sovereignty.
Albright was to begin explaining the U.S. position
Sunday night with talks with the emir of Kuwait, Sheik
Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah. She was to consult Monday
with leaders of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, then fly Tues
day to Egypt.
The United States has more than 4,000 troops and
dozens of warplanes at bases in Saudi Arabia. Saudis,
however, have been increasingly unr
about their close ties with Washington'
1990 bombing of a U.S. military barracfc
Saudi Arabia.
Nineteen American servicemen died :*
blamed on Muslim extremists.
