- BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq
said on Saturday it could resist any U.S. military attack in the "war
on terrorism.''
-
- "We are confident of our capability of resisting
any kind of aggression,'' Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz told reporters
after opening an international poetry festival in Baghdad.
-
- "The United States has always committed aggression
against many countries without justification. If they want to attack Iraq
again that will be their own decision.''
-
- There has been widespread speculation about whether the
U.S. success in Afghanistan would embolden it to move against Iraq.
-
- President George Bush has warned President Saddam Hussein
he would learn the consequences if he did not readmit international weapons
inspectors to Iraq.
-
- Iraq has denied any link to the Saudi-born dissident
Osama bin Laden, regarded by Washington as the mastermind behind the September
11 attacks on New York and Washington.
