"The criminal investigation is ongoing so I am not going to say no ones name or
the fact that he is a muslim soldier, stuff like that, ok?
QUESTION: Ok. Can you tell us what happened, first of all?
A: I lost track of time there. I think it was probably an hour ago, maybe two
hours ago; I was asleep and my sergeant came back and woke me up and I
immediately smelled smoke. I heard a couple of explosions and then a popping
sound which I think was probably a rifle being fired. It looks like some
assailant threw a grenade into each of these three tents here."

1. Iraqi Foreign Minister, Naji Sabri, walking amid media
2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Naji Sabri, Iraqi Foreign Minister:
"The Arabs (of the Arabic nation) at this stage are watching their Iraq facing
this aggression in a heroic fashion. We wish the Arab nation to stand up as one
man to defend themselves. The Arabic people are taking this stance but we want
the governments (of Arab countries) to take up this stance - to mark a true
stance against this Zionist aggression, this three way aggression -Zionist,
American and British aggression on Iraq. Maybe you saw the image of the Israeli
missile that landed in Baghdad that didn't explode. Therefore this aggression is
a three way aggression - Zionist, American and British, on Iraq. And if it is
targeting Iraq now it is targeting all the Arab countries. The Zionist plan is
clear in dividing the Arab nation into small ghettos ruled by (Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel) Sharon, with the help of the gang in the White House and its
poodle Blair.
Reporter Question: Do you think that the Arab League Summit resolutions have
been implemented?
SABRI: We wish for the Arabic government to rise up to the appropriate levels to
face this aggression of the Zionists and the occupiers. It doesn't target Iraq,
but all the Arab nations.
Reporter Question: Are there any American prisoners of war?
SABRI: Today when I left Baghdad the anti aircraft guns have shot down a fighter
jet in Abu Ghraib (west of Baghdad) which fell in front of us and of course it
has a pilot or more. I'm not going to speak about it in front of you as it is
going to be spoken about later, but I would like to assure you that all the
Iraqis are fighting and defending their country. They have brought the
aggression down to size, and those 1000 missiles that were fired by those wicked
Zionist people on Baghdad yesterday did not affect one child or weaken the will
of one child. Today the people went about their everyday business, as if nothing
had happened. Those rockets that landed on Baghdad last night has not affected
the will of the Iraqi people. 1000 rockets on Baghdad, but Baghdad and Iraq is
stronger than all the rockets and its will is above the will of the aggressors
and the will of the wicked gang of thieves which rules in Washington."
