Embassies in Kuwait face mounting crisis during Iraqi standoff
Diplomats at 30 embassies in Kuwait refuse to close despite Iraqi orders, risking implied recognition of Iraq's annexation of Kuwait. East Germany reports its envoy seized in Baghdad as missions are ringed by troops and essential services fail. Refugees flood Jordan in 120 degree heat while Britain and France coordinate possible airlifts and repatriation efforts. An Army anti tank missile launcher explosion and a safe F 16 bailout add to the tension as Saudi Arabia seeks to avert an oil crisis.
