Report: Iraq Has Scuds Ready for War
(Reuters) - A U.S. intelligence assessment indicates that Iraq has as many as two dozen old Scud missiles from the 1991 Gulf War which it might be able to fire at Israel or other regional states in any U.S.-led war against Baghdad, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. The officials said Israel had been quietly helping the Pentagon prepare for any conflict with Iraq, confirming reports that Israel had sent military scout teams into remote Western Iraq.
