This from Reuters:
Nearly 2 million leaflets were dropped on 29 military and civilian sites in the south, many warning Iraqi civilians to stay away from military targets and providing exact steps for Iraq's forces to surrender without a fight in any invasion, a U.S. announcement from the region said.
The Pentagon (news - web sites) wants Iraqi troops in the South to stand aside when tens of thousands of American and British troops are expected to advance northward from Kuwait toward the oil fields around Basra en route to Baghdad.
"To avoid destruction," the leaflets advised, Iraqi soldiers should abandon their tanks and vehicles and gather in unarmed groups at least a half-mile away.
White flags must be displayed on vehicles and only officers may retain pistols or other side arms, the notes advised. Artillery and air defense systems must be parked in travel formation and no shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles can be displayed.
"Do not approach coalition forces. Wait for further instructions," the leaflets said.
U.S. military sources said on Wednesday that 17 Iraqi soldiers had given themselves up to U.S.-led forces in northern Kuwait. They provided no further details.
