"The UK says it will send up to a quarter of its army to the Gulf, as Baghdad promises better co-operation with weapons inspectors."

The United Kingdom is to deploy 26,000 more troops for possible military action against Iraq - a far higher figure than anticipated.
The UK Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, also announced that 150 armoured personnel carriers and 120 tanks were being sent to Kuwait before mid-February.
