- RECOUNT CALL
-
- During the gulf war, American commanders announced that
- allied aircraft had knocked out 30 fixed and 16 mobile Scud
- missile launchers. Iraq contends that coalition forces failed
- to hit a single one of its launchers. A spokesman for the U.N.
- Special Commission on Iraq said last week that some launchers
- had been destroyed under U.N. supervision and that the Iraqis
- claimed to have scrapped the rest on their own. There was no
- evidence to disprove the Iraqi claim. In Washington, the
- Pentagon's Pete Williams conceded that damage to the Scuds "was
- less than we previously thought."
