Saddam was, and is, too elusive to kill. During the Gulf War he stayed off the radio and telephone to avoid being pinpointed by signal intercepts, and he dispatched his orders and speeches on tape. Even now he moves two doubles around to mislead potential assassins. Intelligence sources tell TIME that Saddam has his bodyguards pick six homes where he might sleep. At the last minute he chooses his resting place, making sure it's never the same spot two nights in a row. Sometimes he spends the night in a well-guarded van pulled into the bushes...

U.N. ambassador Bill Richardson was scheduled to be in Tokyo this week explaining the U.S. position, but Japan's U.N. ambassador, Hisashi Owada, is still miffed because Richardson neglected to tell him he was planning the trip.

But if Operation Desert Thunder is so hard to sell and so likely to be costly, its sequel may be doubly...
...suddenly she understood why De Jong had felt it necessary to come in person to Hong Kong, why he had waited until now to tell her about the virus. He suspected that the H5 had not really come from human patients but was the result of laboratory contamination. Everyone knew that her lab was situated close to Shortridge's and that Shortridge worked with avian viruses. Moreover, this was Hong Kong, where poultry stalls with live chickens could be found in the same neighborhoods as five-star hotels. "I think he came to Hong Kong to have a look...
