US Navy moves into Persian Gulf

The US Navy is moving more military hardware to the
Persian Gulf region, amid mounting signs that
Washington is preparing for a war against Iraq.

US defence officials say tanks and helicopters are
being sent to Jordan and an undisclosed Red Sea port
are part of a broader transfer of military equipment
from Europe to other parts of the globe.

Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says they are for a
US military exercise in Jordan called "Infinite
Moonlight".

He has also dismissed the notion of weapons inspection
teams going to Iraq, saying they would never find any
evidence even if they were to be granted free access
to the country.
