Iraq, U.N. reach agreement
Officials say members
of the Security Council
will be the first to review
details of the agreement
By Robert H. Reid
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.N. chief
Kofi Annan and Iraqi leader Sad
dam Hussein settled the last ma
jor obstacle Sunday to opening
presidential palaces to U.N. arms
inspectors, which is the main
condition for avoiding a U.S. at
tack, Annan’s spokesman said.
The agreement came during a
three-hour meeting between An
nan and Saddam at the Republi
can Palace, one of eight presiden
tial sites that Iraq had declared
off-limits to U.N. weapons inspec
tors, said U.N. spokesman Fred
Eckhard.
“We’ve reached an agreement,”
Eckhard said. “We have a text.”
One Iraqi official, who insisted
his named not be used, was asked
whether there was a deal. He
replied, “Yes.”
Eckhard said “we expect the
text will be acceptable to all 15
members of the Security Coun
cil,” including the United States,
which has said it would refuse an
agreement that it believes under
mines the inspectors’ authority.
White House spokesman Mike
McCurry said preliminary ac
counts had been received from
Baghdad, but he refused to assess
them. “We’ve got a lot of serious
questions. It’s a very serious mat
ter at a serious time, and we want
to get some questions answered,”
he said.
Annan and Iraq’s deputy prime
minister, Tariq Aziz, met late
Sunday to agree on the precise
wording of an agreement the sec
retary-general will take back to
the Security Council.
Annan was scheduled to return
to New York on Monday and brief
the Security Council on Tuesday
afternoon.
The crisis over weapons in
spections has brought the Persian
Gulf to the brink of war.
The United States has sent a
naval armada and 25,000 troops
to the region to mount air strikes
unless Iraq agrees to open all sites,
including eight presidential
palaces, to the U.N. weapons in
spectors.
Pro-Iraq protests have erupted
across the Arab world — Jordan
had to send out tanks in one
desert city to contain them — and
sent Israelis scurrying for gas
masks and diplomats there
preparing to leave. Israel also de
cided Sunday to distribute antibi
otics to protect against a biologi
cal attack, despite Annan’s news.
Britain, America’s strongest
backer for a military strike, react
ed cautiously.
“The expectation is that Kofi
Annan will make an announce
ment in the morning whether a
deal has been brokered,” a
spokesman for Prime Minister
Tony Blair said on customary
anonymity. “Even then, he will
report back to the Security Coun
cil the details of that.”
Annan briefed Blair by tele
phone on his discussions with
Saddam, the spokesman said
without elaborating.
Annan met with the Iraqi
leader after talks with Aziz since
Friday failed to resolve the last
major obstacle — Iraq’s demand
for a time limit on inspections of
presidential compounds.
Eckhard said that time limits
were not part of the agreement,
but that details of the deal would
first be presented to the Security
Council.
FBI search home for biological weapons
Tests show the material is
an animal vaccine, not
ingredients of a
biological weapon
By Dara Akiko Tom
The Associated Press
LOGANDAI.E, Nev. — FBI
agents in surgical gloves removed
boxes full of materials from the
home of a researcher Sunday, a
day after he was released from jail
when tests showed he possessed
a harmless animal vaccine, not a
biological weapon.
More than a dozen agents de
scended on William Leavitt Jr.’s
property in this small farming
community 50 miles northeast of
Las Vegas. Neighbors said the
agents had been searching the
home and an adjacent shed since
Wednesday, when Leavitt was ar
rested along with Larry Wayne
Harris.
Leavitt’s lawyer, Lamond Mills,
called the search "a fishing expe
dition” and said he planned to
visit the home to “see what kind
of shape the house is in and what
they’ve taken.”
"1 think they’re embarrassed,
and I think they’re looking for
anything they can find to bring
charges against Bill Leavitt," Mills
said.
FBI agents at the scene declined
to comment.
Agents, some wearing surgical
gloves, were seen removing
boxloads of materials from a
building next to the house. The
boxes were placed in a large
rental truck.
The search came on the eve of
Monday’s detention hearing for
Harris, who remained jailed over
the weekend on biological
weapon charges.
A government lab on Sunday
was still testing material seized
from Harris’ Ohio home to deter
mine if it is a dangerous — and il
legal — biological agent, federal
sources have said. Harris is on
probation for a 1995 conviction
for illegally obtaining the bubon
ic plague bacteria.
The FBI says its investigation
into both men is continuing, even
though authorities announced
Saturday that a substance once
feared to be the ingredients of a bi
ological weapon turned out to be
a harmless anthrax vaccine.
The material was seized from
Leavitt and Harris on Wednesday
in Henderson, Nev.
