Some U.S., British arms inspectors leave Iraq
BAGHDAD, March 16 Kyodo - Part of the U.S. and British contingents in the U.N. arms inspection team have left Iraq amid fears of an imminent U.S. invasion of Iraq, U.N. sources in Baghdad said Sunday.
Five of eight U.N.-leased helicopters used by weapons inspectors in Iraq were flown out to Syria on Saturday after their insurance coverage was halted amid war fears, a source at Iraq's National Monitoring Directorate said.

U.N. sources said the departure of U.S. and British arms inspectors, on grounds of holidays and other reasons, has reduced the combined size of the U.S. and British arms inspection contingents in Iraq to about 10.

Gosh, I'd hate to be the last American "UN inspector" left standing in Baghdad.
