British and US special forces have mounted a six-day covert mission into western Iraq to identify key targets in the event of a war.

News reports came as British Prime Minister Tony Blair flew back from a key meeting in Washington with George W. Bush, after which the US president said the issue of Iraqi disarmament would "come to a head in a matter of weeks, not months."

British newspapers said that the two leaders had drawn up a timetable which could see US-led military action within six weeks if Iraqi President Saddam Hussein refused to give up weapons of mass destruction.

Blair said he doubted that Saddam would disarm voluntarily. "I certainly believe he is not going to comply because he has had years and years to do so," Blair said.
