KUWAIT, March 19 (Reuters) - Kuwaiti security sources said on Wednesday that U.S.-led forces had moved into the demilitarised zone (DMZ) that straddles the Iraq-Kuwait border, apparently in preparation for an imminent attack on Iraq.
"Troops walked into the DMZ this morning at around 11 a.m. (0800 GMT)," a Kuwaiti security force source working in the Umm Qasr area in the east of the zone said."American convoys are still driving towards Umm Qasr."
Tens of thousands of U.S. and British troops are in the desert in north Kuwait preparing to attack. U.S. President George W. Bush has said his forces will invade if Iraqi President Saddam Hussein does not flee by early Thursday.
A U.S. military spokesman said he could not confirm or deny that troops were inside the DMZ. A British army spokesman said only that soldiers had taken up"forward battle positions".
The DMZ extends five km (three miles) into Kuwait and 10 km into Iraq. It was not clear how far in the troops were. United Nations observers pulled out of the DMZ on Monday. Small groups of engineers slipped in last week to cut gates in the fence but combat units were now in place there, the sources said.
