| Kuwait to Close Access to North Starting Feb. 15 |
| 2003-02-04 |
| Kuwait's Defense Ministry declared Tuesday northern areas bordering Iraq a military zone closed to unauthorized personnel starting Feb. 15, the state-run Kuwait news agency said. "No one will be allowed to enter these regions after this date without official permission from the army," the news agency quoted a Defense Ministry statement as saying. It gave no reason for the closure but the statement follows several weeks of stepped-up U.S. military exercises in northern Kuwait amid preparations for a possible U.S.-led attack on Iraq. Kuwait is expected to be the launch pad for any U.S.-led assault on Iraq if Washington decides to use force to dismantle alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies it has such weapons. Thousands of U.S. troops are amassing in Kuwait and tensions are mounting within the country as the possibility of war looms. Anytime after 15 Feb. |
