| Farrakhan arrives in Iraq to prevent US strike |
| 2002-07-06 |
| US black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan met with two ministers from President Saddam Hussein's government in Baghdad on Saturday, and called for a lifting of the sanctions gripping the country. "Mr Farrakhan reaffirmed his solidarity with the Iraqi people and stressed the need to lift the embargo," the official INA news agency said. "The American Muslim people pray for the victory of Iraq, under the leadership of President Saddam Hussein," Farrakhan was quoted as saying during his tours by Health Minister Oumid Medhat Mubarak and Religious Affairs Minister Abdel Moomen Ahmad Saleh. Perhaps they would be kind enough to present themselves at the Baby Milk Factory come next bombing time, to act as "human shields." I somehow don't expect to see them, though we may see them shooting up a few airline counters while the FBI scratches its collective head and tries to decide if it's terrorism. |
