| Baghdadis Rush to Buy Bicycles Ahead of War |
| 2003-03-16 |
| During the 1991 Gulf war and subsequent US-led attacks, bombing disrupted transport and led to severe power and fuel cuts. So having learnt apparently in Iraq, people are rushing to buy bicycles and train on them because they fear that if war erupts, they will not be able to drive their cars. The authorities have also decided to distribute bicycles to ministries and state agencies that would need them in the event of war. |
