Palestinians Willing to Die for Hussein
(Toronto Globe and Mail)- Mark MacKinnon Senior members of both the Fatah and Hamas movements in Baka refugee camp in Jordan say that as soon as the American bombs fly, they will send volunteer fighters to stand alongside Saddam Hussein's army. And they warn that should the U.S. occupy their neighboring country, American troops will face a suicide-bombing campaign similar to the one being waged in Israel. "Iraq and Palestine are two faces of one coin," said Mohammed Shaafout, a local leader of the Hamas-affiliated Islamic Workers Front. "He who defends Palestine defends Iraq, and he who defends Iraq defends Palestine."
