Foreign ministers urge Hussein
to accept inspection resolutioi
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Arab foreign
ministers urged Saddam Hussein on Sunday
to accept the U.N. Security Council resolu
tion ordering new, tougher weapons inspec
tions and demanded that Arab arms experts
be included on the U.N. teams.
The ministers adopted the eight-point
statement shortly after the Iraqi leader
ordered his nation’s parliament to meet to rec
ommend a response to the U.N. resolution,
which was adopted Friday and gives Baghdad
a seven-day deadline for acceptance.
The United Nations is not obliged to
heed the Arab ministers’ demand on
weapons inspectors, adopted at the end of a
two-day meeting of the 22-member Arab
League in Cairo.
Arab foreign ministers, including Iraqi
minister Naji Sabri, worked into the evening
on a final communique that demanded Iraq
and the United Nations work together and
called on the United States to commit to pledges
Syrian said it was given that the resolution
would not be used to justify military action.
The Arab ministers “called on the perma
nent Security Council members who present
ed Syria with assurances to commit to what
they presented, that the resolution is not used
as an excuse to wage war on Iraq and does
not constitute automatic military' action,” the
statement said.
The Arab League document did not spec
ify how many Arab experts it wants on
inspection teams or say which countries they
should represent.
However, Mohamed ElBaradei, director
of the International Atomic Energy Agency,
is an Egyptian, and would be on the advance
team of inspectors headed to Iraq if Saddam
accepts the resolution. ElBaradei’s agency is
in charge of looking for clandestine nuclear
arms programs.
A spokesman for the U.N. inspection
operation said a list of inspectors and
their country of origin was not immedi
ately available.
The Arab League document also
demanded “the continuation of U.N.-Iraq
cooperation to solve all standing issues
peacefully in preparation for the lilting of
sanctions and the end of the (U.N.) embargo
as well as the suffering of the Iraqi people.”
It put forward a united Arab position ot
“absolute rejection” of any military action
against Iraq, saying it represents a threat to
the security of all Arab nations.
In addition, it called on the Security
Council to require Israel to rid itself ot
weapons of mass destruction because they
“constitute a serious threat to Arab and
international peace and security.”

Saddam Husseiti is an
absolute dictator and tyrant
... Vm surprised he's even
bothering to go through
this ploy.
— Condolezza Rice
National Security Advisor
Arab foreign ministers have said they
fully expect Iraq to accept the U.N. resolu
tion. However, Iraqi state-run media, which
reported Saddam’s order convening parlia
ment did not say when the session would be
held, making uncertain when official
acceptance would come.
In Washington. President Bush’s nation
al security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, dis
missed the prospect of Saddam seeking
parliament’s advice as “ludicrous.”
“Saddam Hussein is an absolute dictator
and tyrant, and the idea that somehow he
expects the Iraqi parliament to debate this —
they’ve never debated anything else.” Rice said
Sunday on the ABC network’s “'Phis Week" pro
gram. “I’m surprised he’s even bothering to go
through this ploy.”
Iraq’s parliament is stacked with Saddam’s
allies. Should parliament recommend accept
ance to the Revolutionary
Council, led by Saddam, he would
some cover for retreating from pm
objections to any new language in a^
lion governing weapons inspections.
In brief remarks to journalists
Sunday, Sabri said only that the Arab
tion is firm in rejecting any U.S.useof-
itary force. He said Saturday that "nofe
sion has been taken” by Baghdadonew
crating with the resolution. But if Sad
fails to follow through, U.S. officialsh
said a Pentagon plan calls for more tk
200.(M)() troops to invade Iraq.
Britain sent similar signals, s
Defense Secretary Geoff Boon tellinsS
News on Sunday that his country isrt :

Iraq should diplomatic efforts to
Saddam fail.
Earlier Sunday, Egyptian
Minister Ahmed Maher said he expected
positive response from Iraq, and St
Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faiak
indicated Iraq would agree to the resolute
Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk
Sharaa said he received a letter fc
Secretary of State Colin Powell "in4:

Twenty-nine arrested
when protest turns
violent in Brussels
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -
Twenty-nine people were arrest
ed Sunday after dozens of
demonstrators clashed with riot
police and attacked American
businesses during a march to
protest possible war in Iraq.
There were no reported injuries.
Police said up as many as a
hundred youths, many of them
of Arab origin, broke away from
the main body of the march
through the city center. Masked,
stone-throwing youths broke
windows at a McDonald's, a
Marriott hotel, and a temporary
employment agency.
They hurled stones at busi
nesses and police, who
responded with baton charges.
They also targeted photogra
phers and TV cameramen.
Witnesses said some of the
march organizers tried to stop
others from attacking the shops.
Police said many of those
arrested were charged with
damaging private property and
rioting. They said 1,500 people
took part in the rally. Organizers
said 5,000 people took part.
Pro-Palestinian and anti-capi
talist groups joined the demon
stration led by a banner reading
"Stop USA."
"We are against President
Bush's policies in Afghanistan
and Iraq," said Han Soete, one
of the march organizers. "We
don't want another war."
Storms bring rain
to Western states
DENVER (AP) — Those in drought-
stricken Western states were rejoic
ing after a wave of storms dumped
needed precipitation.
Some areas in California and
Colorado got more than 4 feet of
snow last week and more was falling
Sunday. Other areas that had seen
little rain for months reported up
to 6 inches.
California farmers and ranchers
said the rain would provide new
grass for cattle and improve harvests
of oranges and Christmas trees.
Three ski resorts opened in
California and five opened in
Colorado. Last year, most didn't open
until nearly Thanksgiving because of
balmy weather.
The drought is severe to
extreme in 80 percent of the West,
and the worst since the Dust Bowl
of the mid-1930s.
