The biggest U.S. air strikes against Iraq this year have failed to blunt the defiance of Baghdad, which is vowing to continue to challenge Western warplanes seeking to impose “no-fly” zones on the north and south of the country.
"Iraq will continue to defend its sovereignty and confront American and British planes which commit daily aggression against Iraq, ’Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan said in remarks published yesterday, one day after the latest strikes.
"The American aggression against Iraq is a flagrant violation of international legitimacy, "Ramadan said, quoted by the official al-Iraq newspaper.
The government newspaper al-Jumhouriya urged Iraqis to use all means to fight against U.S. and British aircraft.
"We are witnessing a historical stage where we should mobilize all our potential to force the enemies of Iraq to retreat, ’the paper said in front-page editorial.
Iraq’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Saeed al-Sahaf wrote to the UN Security Council calling on them to stop what he called U.S. and British aggression against Iraqi airspace.
US warplanes blasted strategic Iraqi installations on Monday as Baghdad fought to restore oil supplies after a raid on Sunday.
Baghdad said U.S. planes hit for a second day running a pipeline carrying Iraqi oil exports to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, cutting off the flow of oil. It also said the raids hit a residential quarter in the Ain Zahla oil- field near Mosul, killing one civilian and injuring others.
Iraq, also said it was almost certain that its air defenses had shot down a Western plane.
The Iraqi Oil Ministry took television crews to the site of Mondays bombing of an oil facility and to residential quarters in Ain Zahla.
UN officials in Baghdad said yesterday that Iraq’s oil exports via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline were interrupt- ed for the third day running after a U.S. missile hit a repeater station on Sunday.
In another development, the Washington Post reported yesterday that U.S. intelligence services spied on Iraq for three years without the knowledge of the UN arms control teams they used to disguise their work.
The newspaper quoted U.S. Government employees and documents describing the classified operation, concluding that the UN Special Commission (UNSCOM) did not authorize or benefit from this channel of U. S. surveillance.
