WAR ON IRAK

Guardian: Forces enter demilitarised zone

Allied forces today moved into the demilitarised zone straddling the Iraq-Kuwait border in preparation for the imminent attack on Iraq, Kuwaiti security sources cited by Reuters said.
Convoys of British and US tanks and fighting vehicles have been snaking through sandstorms in the Kuwaiti desert, making their way towards the Iraq border.

Only a few hours remain before the US ultimatum to the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, to flee the country reaches its deadline at 0115 GMT early tomorrow. Baghdad has unequivocally rejected it.
