ABU DHABI Ñ Britain and the United States have prepared a fleet of
naval vessels to respond to an environmental disaster in the Persian Gulf
sparked by the war against Iraq.
In the 1991 Gulf war, Iraq blew up Kuwaiti oil facilities and pumped
five million barrels of crude oil into the sea. The Iraqi sabotage caused
damage to the Gulf region that lasted for years.
