Reuters. 18 September 2001. Saddam Blasts Threats of War Over Attacks. BAGHDAD -- Iraqi President Saddam Hussein on Tuesday condemned U.S. threats of war in retaliation for last week's suicide attacks, saying Washington did not yet have enough evidence on those who carried out the assault. "The United States has made the accusation before possessing the minimum evidence," Saddam said in a second open letter to the West since the attacks on New York and Washington. Saddam said the United States was exploiting the attacks in order to launch a war against countries which oppose its policy. "Could this charge mean anything other than the desire to settle old accounts, all based on the assumption that their foreign policies are incompatible with American policy?" he said of the countries the United States could attack. ------------------------------------------- Macdonald Stainsby Rad-Green List: Radical anti-capitalist environmental discussion. http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green ---- Leninist-International: Building bridges in the tradition of V.I.
