NICOSIA. March 3: Iraqi commanders have agreed on all matters raised at ceasefire talks with Allied military chiefs at an air base, an Allied commander said on Sunday, reports agencies.
Allied commanders announced they are "well on our way to a lasting peace" after a meeting Sunday with defeated Iraqi military leaders laid the groundwork for a permanent truce that meets all Allied demands.
The most pressing demands pf the multinational coalition Included the immediate release of all war prisoners and captured civilians, exchange of information on missing soldiers, information on all minefields and booby traps on land and at sea.
The demands also included
safety measures to ensure that forces from both sides do not accidentally engage in hostile fire. The cease-fire was marred Saturday by an attack on US forces by ah Isolated Iraqi tank unit that was destroyed In a brief post -war battle.
In a statement after the meeting. US Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf said the Iraqi officials "agreed on all matters".
"I think that we should consider today as a memorable. historic day. and I hope that peace will last in the Middle East and In the whole world." said Saudi Lt Gen. Khalid bin Sultan, who represented the allies along with Schwarzkopf.
Release of all prisoners on both sides is to be worked out with the International Red Cross, with a "symbolic release" on both sides immediately. the US commander said, adding that mine-clearing activities will also begin immediately.
There was little immediate information about the members of the Iraqi delegation.
Schwarzkopf said both sides were prepared to meet again to discuss truce terms but that he did not anticipate another meeting would be necessary.
Before the meeting, he said. Tm not here to give them anything. I’m here to tell them exactly what wc expect them to do."
Iraq’s official media made no mention of the military meeting early Sunday, and Instead focused on attempts to restore electricity, transport, and radio and television broadcasting throughout the war-devastated country.
Earlier report adds: Iraqi and Allied generals met at an occupied air base inside Iraq Sunday to work out details of a Gulf war ceasefire, the
American network CNN said in a live report.
Two unidentified Iraqi Generals sat across a wooden table in an olive-green tent opposite US General Norman Schwarzkopf and Saudi Lietenant-General Prince Khalid bln Sultan.
Armoured vehicles and tanks flying the American stars and stripes and carrying inscriptions such as "Mrs. Death" on their gun barrels threw a ring of steel round the talks. Fully-armed helicopters patrolled overhead.
Before the talks Schwarzkopf, a Vietnam War veteran, otdered that nothing should be done to humiliate the Iraqis.
"I don’t want to embarrass anyone. I don't want to humiliate them," the burly American General told one of his planning officers as they walked In bright morning sunshine to the talks from the helicopter that took them to the air base.
In another development, the United States and its Allies pledged Sunday to pull out of Iraq once a Gulf war ceasefire had been signed and hailed battlefield talks with Iraqi Generals as a major step on the road to peace.
Another report says: US forces are in no hurry to leave the huge area they occupy in southern Iraq, a senior US military source said on Sunday.
Why would we leave if there's a ceasefire and wc own it? I mean eventually wc will (leave). But I'm not sure we re in that great a hurry to get out and I’m sure he’s (Iraq is ) not in a position to dictate when we should." the source' told reporters.
At the United Nations meanwhile the Security Council on Saturday overwhelmingly passed a resolution adopting Allied demands that Iraq must meet before a formal ceasefire in the Gulf war.
Following are the main provisions of Security Council Resolution 686 adopted late on Saturday that dictates terms to Iraq for a permanent ceasefire.
