Schwarzenegger donates tank to museum


Before he was the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger was just another soldier in the Austrian army. He was reunited with a part of his military past - the tank he used to drive - in a visit to a museum.

Schwarzenegger, 55, in town for an annual fitness exposition that bears his name, visited the Motts Military Museum in nearby Groveport on Friday. He donated the 47-ton tank to the museum in November 2000.

Allies bomb key Iraqi targets


· 'Undeclared war' enters new phase · Missile systems hit · Rocket launchers destroyed

Britain and the United States have all but fired the first shots of the second Gulf war by dramatically extending the range of targets in the "no-fly zones" over Iraq to soften up the country for an allied ground invasion.

As Baghdad threatened to stop destroying its Samoud 2 missiles if the US presses ahead with its invasion plans, allied pilots have attacked surface-to-surface missile systems and are understood to have hit multiple-launch rockets.

Appropriate pressure being put on al Qaeda leader


"All appropriate pressure" is being put on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the man believed to be the key planner of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to reveal plots for any future operations, a senior U.S. intelligence official said Sunday.

The capture of the man linked to nearly every al Qaeda attack of the past five years is a "huge win," the official said.

United Nations inspectors have been seeking clarification of the whereabouts of such deadly agents for years. Mr Saadi said excavations at the al-Aziziya air base, 104 km south-west of Baghdad, had uncovered nearly all bomb fragments filled with tonnes of toxic agents which Iraq insists it destroyed unilaterally in 1991.
