Inspector Orders Iraq to Dismantle Disputed Missiles
Iraqi officials insist the missile will not exceed the proscribed range when the actual warhead and guidance equipment are mounted. They have offered to conduct test firings for the United States. Mr. Blix and missile experts have dismissed this argument, saying the missile has an inherent ability to fly well beyond the range limits and has done so in tests.

American diplomats had no public comment on the letter. But one diplomat said, "We are very pleased," adding that it seemed unlikely that Iraq would destroy a system that it had spent heavily to build.
