Iraq has been given until Saturday to destroy its stock of short-range missiles, which U.N. inspectors have determined to slightly exceed permitted range limits. The White House claims the existence of the missiles puts Iraq in material breach of U.N. resolutions, but U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has downplayed the incident and said he expects Iraq will voluntarily destroy the missiles.
