Weapons inspectors start talks with Iraq on unfettered access
In Vienna UN chief inspector Hans Blix outlined that inspections must reach all sites in Iraq including presidential palaces to ensure access. IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky said the talks are thorough and businesslike as Baghdad and the inspectors discuss practical arrangements. Prime Minister Blair signaled openness to two UN resolutions to bolster disarmament efforts and potentially authorize action if inspections fail.

Sharon blasted for bungled siege
In Jerusalem Prime Minister Ariel Sharon faced sharp domestic criticism over the failed 10 day assault on Yasser Arafat’s compound, amid U. S. pressure to halt. Elsewhere in the West Bank Nablus endured new violence as troops killed a 13 year old and wounded 25 during a curfew clash. Amnesty International warned that both sides allowed child deaths. Arafat’s Ramallah HQ remained under Israeli control as rubble was cleared and remaining structures reduced.
