Powell Accuses Iraq of Links to Terrorist Network

Armed with satellite images and intercepted telephone conversations, US Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that Iraq still has not complied with resolutions calling for it to disarm.

Powell presented the US case to the 15-member council during a high-level open meeting which drew 12 foreign ministers to the UN headquarters in New York.

"My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources," he said. "These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence."

"I cannot tell you everything that we know. But what I can share with you, when combined with what all of us have learned over the years, is deeply troubling," he said.
