Excerpts of Iraqi Acceptance Letter

Thursday, February 27, 2003

WASHINGTON —  Excerpts from a letter written by Iraqi Lt. Gen. Amer al-Saadi to chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix, who ordered Iraq to begin destroying its Al Samoud 2 missiles and their components by Saturday:

----

"I would like to inform you of ... our acceptance in principle of your request despite our belief that the decision to destroy [the missiles] was unjust and did not take into consideration the scientific facts regarding the issue."

----

"The timing of this request seems to us to be one with political aims."

----

"In order to establish a framework and timetable and other technical and procedural criteria required for implementation, we suggest dispatching a technical team urgently for this purpose."
