<Despite statements last week from chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix that
full cooperation was expected from Iraq, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji
Sabri lashed out at the United Nations in a 19-page letter to Secretary-
General Kofi Annan written in Arabic. In it, Sabri repeated previous
claims that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction and that the inspections
are just a false pretense for the United States and Britain to attack his
country. Sabri assailed U.N. Security Council resolution 1441, adopted
November 8, that called for Iraq to give immediate, unfettered access
to weapons inspectors. Iraq "is being subjected to terrorism for more than
30 years from international and regional powers," he wrote. "And Iraq's under
a daily aggression represented in the terrorism of the U.S. and Britain through
the imposition of the no-fly zones." Iraq has shot at U.S. and British aircraft
repeatedly in the no-fly zones since they were established after the Persian
Gulf War, and coalition aircraft have fired on Iraqi bases in response. In
the most recent action, coalition aircraft struck a mobile radar system
Saturday in the southern no-fly zone, according to the U.S. Central Command.
The Iraqi News Agency said the aircraft fired on civilian and service
facilities. After Iraq fired on U.S. and British planes last week, U.S.
officials said the attacks constituted a "material breach" of Resolution 1441,
which could trigger a meeting of the U.N. Security Council at which the
United States could call for military action against Iraq>
