Fifteen Iraqi soldiers on Wednesday crossed the border into Kuwait and surrendered to US troops, international agencies reported.

The 15 were handed over to Kuwaiti police after laying down their arms and giving up, said Captain Darrin Theriault, headquarters company commander of the First Brigade of the US Army's Third Infantry Division.

The surrenders came amid a 48-hour ultimatum given by President George W. Bush to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to leave his country by early Thursday or face a massive attack.
