Search for Iraqi weapons sites shifts after empty findings
U S forces change tactic after probing more than 80 top suspected sites with little success. Officials say 1,000 sites exist but 100 focal points yielded no stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons or evidence of a nuclear program. War emphasis shifts to new Iraqi information as ships deploy homeward and Marine units prepare to return.

Missing pilot Speicher initials found on Baghdad prison wall
American investigators in Iraq found what may be a clue to the missing Gulf War pilot Michael Scott Speicher. The letters MSS were etched on a Hakmiyah prison wall in Baghdad. U S officials caution the marks may predate or be unrelated to Speicher, who disappeared after a January 17 1991 bombing mission. A CIA-DIA team is in Iraq pursuing the case amid conflicting reports of Speicher’s fate.
