Baghdad in recent days had denounced Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates for exceeding production quotas set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. Iraq says falling oil prices brought on by the oil glut have robbed it of $14 billion in revenues the past year, and Saddam this week accused quota violators of stabbing Iraq in the back "with a poisoned dagger." In seeking to defuse the crisis, Kuwait on Thursday solicited Arab League help in settling its the world's 8:49 ajn.

The National Westminster bank, near the exchange, was cordoned off and searched following another bomb warning, police said. The Royal Bank of Scotland building across from the exchange was also evacuated. Press Association, Britain's domestic news agency, reported that one caller who telephoned a warning said: "This is the IRA. The bomb is due to go off in half an hour at the Stock Exchange." The caller then gave a code word recognized by police and said, "Clear the building," the news agency reported.

"It was all a summer cloud that has been blown away," the source said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity. The alert followed Iraqi charges that Kuwait had stolen Iraqi oil worth $2.4 billion, and Iraqi threats of retaliation. Kuwait had appealed to other Arab states for support in the dispute with its much more powerful neighbor.
