		The head of Iraq's pre-1991 centrifuge uranium enrichment program, Dr. Mahdi Ubaydi, approached United States officials in Baghdad and turned over a volume of centrifuge documents and components that he had hidden in his garden from inspectors since 1991.
		This case also illustrates the challenge that the international community faces in Iraq, as we search for evidence of weapons of mass destruction programs that were designed to elude detection from the very scientist who often would not share with the international inspectors what they knew and where they had things hidden.
		And as he has indicated to the United States, he buried it for the purpose of letting the inspectors leave the country, having sanctions be removed, and then using it to reconstitute a nuclear program.

	WSO\| Agadir Summit
		A summit meeting between President Houari Boumedienne (Algeria), King Hassan II (Morocco), and President Mokhtar Ould Daddah (Mauritania) in the Moroccan city of Agadir, it was the second of such summits devoted to the problem of Western Sahara, the first having been held in Nouadhibou (Mauritania) in September 1970.
		King Hassan's unequivocal support for self-determination aroused opposition from such hard-line Moroccans as the Istiqlal Party but the king, who knew that Algeria and Mauritania would not support an outright Moroccan claim to Western Sahara, apparently believed at the time that the Saharawis would be likely to opt for integration with Morocco.
		Little was done by the three heads of state to bring pressure to bear on Spain after the summit; but then, a year after the summit, King Hassan dropped the self-determination line and insisted on outright annexation, he was accused by both Algeria and the Polisario Front of reneging on the stand he took there.

	State: Emirates fights jockey lawsuit
		MIAMI - United Arab Emirates rulers asked a federal judge on Friday to dismiss a lawsuit seeking damages for thousands of children who were forced to become jockeys for racing camels, arguing that the issue is being fully addressed and that U.S. courts have no jurisdiction.
		Federal court in Miami is a proper legal venue, the lawsuit contends, because Emirates royal family members own hundreds of horses at farms in Ocala and because no other court in the world could fairly address the claims.
		The Emirates rulers, however, say there is no connection between anyone involved in the camel jockey issue and the U.S. court in Florida and that the country's rulers have immunity as heads of state.
