For the first time in four years, U-N weapons inspectors will go back to Baghdad. Saddam Hussein has accepted the U-N resolution...saying that
Iraq is doing it - to prove they have no weapons of mass destruction.
MOHAMMED ALDOURI/IRAQI AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N. We choose always the peaceful ways and means and this is a part of our policy vis a vis to protect our country, to protect our nation, to protect the region also, from the threat of war.
Iraq says despite the quote "bad intentions" of the resolution, it's
ready to accept the deadlines ....even though they fall during the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan. That paves the way for chief U-N
inspector to head to Iraq ...next week.
Kofi Annan/U.N. Secretary General
Mr. Blix and his team will go back. We expect them to get there on the 18th and actively begin their work.
Meeting with the UN secretary general, President Bush said the two stand together to fight terrorism. Under the terms of the resolution, Iraq must account for all weapons of mass destruction...and must not fire on U-S and British aircraft. The White House continues to warn there will be a strong price to pay if Iraq doesn't cooperate.
Scott McClellan/White House Spokesman:
any false information or omissions are considered a violation of the
resolution and would be considered a further material breach.))

Though analysts believe it is bin Laden on the tape- they are still matching it to bin Laden's voice on other recordings.
