Saddam Signals Global War If Iraq Attacked
Saddam Hussein warned that any attack on Iraq would trigger a worldwide war “wherever there is sky land or water.” With U N inspections withdrawing helicopters, Bush and allies pressed for immediate disarmament at the Azores summit while fear of war mounted. Germany urged citizens to leave Iraq and shuttered its Baghdad embassy as authorities mobilized. Qusai placed in charge of Baghdad and Tikrit security as Iraq readied defense forces.

Oil giant evacuates staff after fighting in Niger Delta
Shell said it was evacuating nonessential staff from Nigeria’s volatile Niger Delta after clashes between Nigerian navy troops and Ijaw militants near Okerenkoko on the Escravos River. Five people were killed and several soldiers injured as ships moved to restore order. Shell operates major facilities in the area along with Jones Creek and Odidi stations pumping over 200,000 bpd. Delta activists accuse oil firms of collusion with the government over oil royalties and environmental damage.
