US Secretary of State Colin Powell is to present the American case against
Iraq to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, 5 February. Satellite photographs
of Iraqis moving equipment from sites in advance of inspections are said
to be among the evidence to be on display. Analysts say the reaction he
receives at the Council is likely to determine whether or not the US seeks
a new resolution on disarming Iraq or embarks on military action on the
basis of existing resolutions. However, his presentation may be overshadowed
by a leaked British intelligence document that suggests there are no current
links between the Iraqi regime and the al-Qaeda network.
