WASHINGTON — President Bush said Friday that Libya will allow international inspectors to check for all major weapons in the country, a step he said would be "of great importance" in stopping weapons of mass destruction in a global fight against terrorism.

Bush said the war in Iraq and efforts to stop North Korea's nuclear program had sent a clear message to countries such as Libya that they must abandon weapons programs.

Libya's decision to dismantle its weapons program was first announced Friday in London by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Bush spoke minutes later, saying if Libya followed through with its commitment, "its good faith can be returned."

In an apparent warning to Iran and North Korea, Bush said, "I hope other leaders will find an example" in Libya's decision to acknowledge that it had tried to develop such weapons and in its commitment to end the effort.
