Iraqi army scattered but capable of threat to Kuwait
Western experts say Saddam has the military power to invade Kuwait again but currently lacks a suitable target. Most Iraqi forces are engaged against Kurds in the northeast and Shiite groups in the south, leaving Kuwait ostensibly safe for now. Col. Andrew Duncan notes Iraq could act if placed differently. Jane's Defense Weekly estimates 350,000 to 400,000 troops in 28 to 30 divisions. Baghdad Radio repeats Kuwait is part of Iraq. US allies conduct joint exercises with Kuwait to show readiness.

Shuttle's Space Electricity Experiment Faces Snag
At NASA's Space Center in Houston, Atlantis astronauts towed a half-ton Italian satellite about 850 feet of a 12 1/2 mile fiber cord as a snag on the spool halted the plan to reel out the tether and generate electricity via Earth's magnetic field at 17,500 mph. After hours of delays, NASA ordered a pause for rest and review.
