The ultimatum, devised by the United States, France, Britain and Russia, was delivered to Iraqi Ambassador Nizar Hamdoon at 5:30 p.m. EST, setting in motion a 48-hour countdown. 'Move the missiles or else' is the basic message," a U.S. administration source said yesterday. President-elect Bill Clinton endorsed the ultimatum.

"The president-elect joins President Bush in saying that we will tolerate no violation of any resolutions by Saddam Hussein," Clinton spokesman George Stephanopoulos said yesterday. The allied warning demanded that Iraq: Immediately remove all its surface-to-air missiles along the 32nd parallel, which forms the northern border of an Iraqi no-fly zone in southern Iraq, and return the missiles to their original positions.

robbery Tuesday night, law enforcement authorities yesterday were continuing the search for suspects and focusing on the likelihood the crime was an inside job. From the breach of a sophisticated security system to the fact that armored-car service holdups often are committed with the help of insiders, authorities said this robbery raised immediate suspicions. "I think it's likely that it's an inside job," said one top law enforcement source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "There is no forced entry here. And there is this security system that's circumvented." Besides the fact the robbers did not have to force their way into the cement-block building at 370 South officials pointed out that the videocassette tape from the Brink's security camera was missing, that the robbers knew the building's layout, and that one of the robbers was wearing a Brink's uniform.
