| Iraq predicts American failure |
| 2001-10-08 |
Iraqis have denounced the Western military campaign against Afghanistan with many fearing their country could be the next target of U.S. retaliation. "U.S. aggression on Afghanistan is one form of organised terrorism," said Babel, the newspaper of President Saddam Hussein's son Uday. The United States and its allies will fail in Afghanistan as they did in Vietnam, Somalia and in their aggression and sanctions on Iraq." A senior Iraqi MP said Washington might next attack Iraq. "We expect America to attack (more) Arab and Muslim countries and Iraq could be one them," Abdul-Saheb Nasir told Reuters. "But they should know that Iraq is now much stronger than it was in the 1991 Gulf War." |
