U.N. Official in Iraq Under Fire

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan extended the term of the top U.N. representative in Iraq for another year, despite U.S. and British complaints, a U.N. spokesman said Tuesday. Hans von Sponeck, who drew the ire of the United States and Britain by urging an end to U.N. sanctions against Iraq, was told by Annan he would continue as head of the humanitarian program in Iraq.
