BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Kuwait and Iraq have made ``very good progress'' in early talks on determining the fate of hundreds of people still missing from the Gulf War, a U.N. diplomat said Saturday.
Yuli Vorontsov said the talks also encompass the case of a U.S. Navy pilot whose F-18 was shot down over Iraq on Jan. 17, 1991, the first night of the war.
Those talks, set to resume Wednesday, as the United States threatens a new war against Iraq to ensure it is not harboring weapons of mass destruction.
In answer to a question, the Russian diplomat confirmed that the case of missing Navy pilot Scott Speicher of Jacksonville, Fla., is covered by the mandate of the talks. Speicher originally was listed as killed but later was reclassified as missing.
