Saddam Offers Pullout If Israel Withdraws Occupied Lands
Saddam Hussein offered to pull Iraqi troops from Kuwait if Israel withdraws from occupied territories. He urged frugality as conflict loomed. The United States said it would intercept oil shipments and block food into Iraq. Saudi officials turned back an Iraqi tanker attempting to load oil at a Red Sea terminal, shutting the Iraq to Saudi pipeline. Thousands of Palestinians in a Lebanese refugee camp supported the proposal, while Iraqi pilots offered missions against U.S. warships.
