Weapons inspectors pull out from Baghdad amid Iraq cooperation halt
Fifteen U.N. weapons inspectors left Baghdad on a U.N. plane for Bahrain in the first stage of UNSCOM's withdrawal from Iraq. The move follows Iraq's Oct. 31 decision to stop spot inspections, with support staff remaining and the Security Council divided over possible military action. Washington seeks Arab backing, while Russia warns of unpredictable consequences. Iraq says it will resume cooperation only if sanctions are timetabled for lifting.
