Here Egunkaria ran its main office, now sealed after Spanish police impounded...
...display of American power. Keeping the issue of Iraq under the U.N. umbrella, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told TIME recently, "would remove the idea that there are ulterior motives for whatever actions that are being taken against Iraq, as an effort to put Iraq under the thumb of imperialism...
