Iraqis visit the Amiriya shelter, decorated with banners left by international peace groups, in central Baghdad September 12, 2002. [Iraqi authorities have preserved the interior of the shelter, serving as museum now, 12 years after two laser-guided bombs killed nearly 400 civilians inside the shelter during the Gulf war. Iraq warned on Thursday the United States it was ready to repel any invasion with every weapon at its disposal, even kitchen knives, sticks and stones.]
