Powell highlights U S push on Iraq weapons case at UN session
U S officials prepare for a public U N briefing by Colin Powell to present intelligence on Iraq. The effort aims to show Baghdad concealed weapons programs and links to al Qaida, with some material reportedly from China and detainees in Afghanistan. U N Security Council backing is limited, as Spain and Bulgaria support action while others seek more time for inspectors. Powell hints at possible unilateral move if council support remains lacking.
