Allawi Vows Reprisals against Nations Supporting Iraq Terrorists

July 20, 2004

(CBN News) - Iraq's Defense Minister Ali Allawi says his country is ready to
strike back against nations it believes are supporting terrorists in Iraq.
He did not name any countries, in his interview with a London Arabic
newspaper.

But he did accuse Iraq's longtime enemy Iran of "blatant interference" in
his country. And he blames Syria for sending fighters into Iraq.

Reuters reports that the Iraqi Defense Minister also says Iraq has
confronted other countries with "facts and evidence."

He says those countries have done nothing to stop supporting terrorism in
Iraq.
