Missing american Engineer believed to be held by Iraq Kuwait a red Cross officials said sunday that they Are seeking confirmation that an american Engineer missing from Kuwait for almost a week was captured by Iraq. A a it a a strange Story a said Jean Philippe Avoyer head of Mission at the International committee of the red Cross. A a it a a closed Border. I can to imagine How he managed to get into  Gordon Cordes a Road Engineer with the Kuwait emergency recovery office was last seen tuesday travelling North of Doha a suburb of Kuwait City about 60 Miles South of the Border. The . Embassy confirmed that an american was missing and that International organizations had been contacted but would release no other details at the request of his family. Kero organized most of the work in rebuilding Kuwait a electricity water roads schools and other facilities damaged during the seven month iraqi occupation and subsequent War to free the country. Although run by the . Military Kero took bids from civilian contractors to carry out More than $400 million in reconstruction work most of it done by seven american British and Arab firms. Avoyer said his office was working through red Cross channels to get its iraqi Branch to confirm Cordes whereabouts. A if he is there he should be visited by the i arc. We consider him protected by the Geneva conventions a Avoyer said a but it can take some  in previous cases of civilians straying Over the badly marked Border the iraqis have returned the individuals  from Page 1 co dance with the Law of armed conflict. A we carefully selected targets to minimize collateral damage and civilian casualties. Many times american pilots put themselves at greater risk than necessary to avoid civilian injuries and collateral damage a she said. The report also contains harsh criticism of iraqis missile attacks against population centers in saudi Arabia and Israel but the bulk of the report involves the Allied actions. Middle East watch said its findings were primarily based on interviews with iraqi residents of various nationalities who fled to Jordan during the bombing. Most were asian or african labourers. The report evaluated Allied conduct under the Laws of War primarily the standards of the first additional protocol of 1977 to the 1949 Geneva conventions. It said the allies overwhelming air superiority and the precision of their Wear Edwards from Page 1 isanians emerge As a kind of Knight in shining Armor around the  Edwards first three terms were marked by scandals so much so that the voters shunned him in 1987, giving the Job to buddy Roemer. But Roemer finished third in the oct. 19 open primary. Edwards 64, forged a coalition of Well heeled strange bedfellows whose Only purpose was to discredit his opponent. Duke said he Drew contributions from All 50 states.

Race baiting name calling suggesting our problems Are the fault of someone else will not solve  onry provided an a exceptional Opportunity to conduct the bombing Campaign in a manner that would avoid civilian casualties. But despite the allies Legal obligation to take All feasible precaution to avoid civilian casualties the report said a the actual conduct of the War fell Short of this obligation in several significant  the Allied commanders apparently chose a to take less than the maximum feasible precautions necessary to avoid harm to civilians a it said. For example the allies sometimes attacked during the Day in Urban areas the report said. Daytime attacks were made against Bridges an underwear manufacturing Plant and an Oil storage tank in which hundreds of civilians were killed. A in such cases it was inevitable that the civilian casualty toll would be higher than if the same targets were bombed at night when iraqis typically were at Home or in shelters a the report said. The allies also deployed a unguided bombs a although they possessed a smart bombs known for up to 90 percent pre Duke said in Baton Rouge that he was Defeated by a torrent of Money that fuelled ads and commercials filled with a biased hatred and economic  Duke said his White majority vote was a a transferable to other states. He lost ground however from his 1990 . Senate race in which he got 44 percent of the vote against Veteran Democrat sen. Bennett Jonnston.

A but this Duke Campaign sent a message across the nation and indeed across the world that racism is alive and popular in one of the states in this  vision the report said. Turning to the allies Choice of targets the report criticized a feb. 13 bombing of a civil defense shelter in Baghdad in which 200 to 300 civilians reportedly were killed. The United states said the facility was being used As a military control Center but Middle East watch said that there was no conclusive evidence of that. The report also criticized attacks on government food warehouses in Baghdad a Dairy factory North of Basra and flour milling and water treatment facilities. The allies it said virtually destroyed iraqis electrical system damage that impeded the military a ability to communicate and War related production yet at a a severe Cost to civilians.
