GWT: Latest comments by information minister

(2 Apr 2003) 1. SOUNDBITE: (English) Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Iraqi Information Minister: "In particular, cluster bombs mainly on Al-Warka is a very historical place in the south. It's a Samarian place. There is a village called Al-Baida it is a well-known village there and Al-Warka... they bombarded it with cluster bombs yesterday night. They bombarded a cement factory in Al-Mutana governorate. And maybe this will be rather, very astonishing to you. They started throwing booby traps on the Iraqi villages and townships. Do you know what they are the booby traps? Pens and pencils. Booby traps. They started throwing pencils but they are booby traps. So in Al-Mutana governorate the authority of the civil defence had collected, gathered and had issued warning to the population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby trapped." STORYLINE: Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf on Wednesday claimed that coalition forces were dropping booby traps on the Al-Mutana area. Speaking to reporters Sahaf claimed the booby traps were in the form of pens and pencils. Sahaf also said the coalition forces were using cluster bombs and had hit historical sites in southern Iraq.
