* Iraq said today it agreed to U.N. demands that it relinquish Kuwait, signalling a possible end to the war. But the Baghdad government said that withdrawal should be linked to a pull-out of allied forces from the region and an Israeli pull-out from the occupied lands--a demand it has made repeatedly in the six months since it overran the emirate.
* The White House said that Baghdad radio's dramatic announcement that Iraq may be willing to withdraw from Kuwait "Clearly contains conditions," and is not enough to stop the Persian Gulf War. White House Spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said "promises alone are not sufficient."
