An Iraqi presidential guard looks through the entrance
gate before letting United Nations weapon inspectors enter Al-Sajoud
palace, one of Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces along the Tigris
river, in Baghdad Tuesday Dec. 3rd 2002. Access to such sites was
an explosive issue in the previous round of inspections in the 1990's.
UN security council resolution 1441 adopted last month mandates free,
unannounced access to all Iraqi sites.
