((In the face of the increased military build-up all around the Gulf --
today the UN started a build-up of its own.

permanent base in northern Iraq -- casting a new net into a region that
so far, has remained largely un-inspected.
In Southern Iraq -- a similar story -- with teams combing through this
University Biology Department that hasn't been inspected since 1998.
(SOT/PROFESSOR JOERGEYOUS ABDUL-ADAM)(RTV)
"They visited all the labs and, in fact, they checked the instruments
which had been previously labeled by the team."

The UN excursions deep into Iraq's countryside are the latest signs
inspectors are turning up the heat.
The deadline to report their findings to the UN Security Council is just
three weeks away.
And the UN admits, it still has a long way to go.
(COWAN ON CAM)
"It IS a time consuming process. One inspection doesn't necessarily mean
a site is cleared. Just the wall all around this factory for example
stretches for at least a mile in every direction, and has already been
the site of repeated visits."
(NARR:)(CBS)
And it's that repetition that is beginning to wear on the nerves of some
Iraqi plant managers -- like this one who complained HIS workers are
losing money while the inspectors are doing THEIR work.
(SOT/MUSTAFA ABDUL AL-KHADER/ PLANT MANAGER)(CBS)
"Our production was stopped during the visit, and this is not easy for
our people."

The willingness to put up with that inconvenience is what Iraq hopes to
