The Iraqi leader has rebuilt his most important military assembly lines, including a missile plant.

This missile plant became a significant factor in the arms race of the Cold War.

This raised the possibility that the Iraqis had moved the items to other missile plants engaged in banned weapons development.

Its operations are spread among a number of sites in California, where most of Hughes's missile plants are situated.

Inspectors made the discovery during a six-hour visit earlier in the day at a missile plant in the Waziriyah district of northern Baghdad.

But without further outside intervention, Iraq should be able to rebuild weapons and missile plants within a year.

Arrested in a protest march against a nuclear missile plant, she insists on acting as her own counsel and refuses to let the judge dismiss her case.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a missile plant on the northern outskirts of Baghdad.

American intelligence officials said the vehicles had probably been taken from there to a missile plant at Nasariya for use in Syria's Scud missile program.

Reporters were denied permission to investigate; suspecting trouble at one of Iraq's poison-gas or missile plants in that area, the reporter disguised himself and went anyway.
