Britain bids to break UN deadlock

BRITAIN yesterday set out six tough new conditions for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to avoid war, in an attempt to break the UN Security Council stalemate.

This came as the United States prepared for war by test-firing the biggest non-nuclear weapon at their disposal, in military exercises in Florida.

The US Air Force said it dropped a 21,000lb MOAB missile on a range in North West Florida late on Tuesday night.
