US faults Iraq for report, says it won't trigger war

Iraq report in violation, Powell says
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell declared yesterday that Iraq's 12,200-page report on its weapons programs was a catalog of "recycled information and flagrant omissions," violating United Nations resolutions in ways that could provoke war. But Powell pushed back the prospect of conflict for at least several weeks by calling for stepped-up UN inspections inside Iraq and interviews with Iraqi scientists outside the country.

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell used dramatic satellite images and chilling telephone intercepts yesterday to try to convince the United Nations Security Council that Iraq poses an imminent threat, harboring Al Qaeda terrorists and concealing banned deadly weapons in defiance of a UN order to disarm.
