Saddam Hussein's nephew launched a bitter attack yesterday on
America's "catastrophic" occupation of Iraq.

"Every day there are explosions. People are killed. This didn't happen
before. I don't say that the government was made up of angels, but
there was infrastructure, security and food," he told the Zürich-based
newspaper Blick.

"Before the US occupation Iraq was a land without terrorism. It's now
the new Afghanistan." As a result of the chaos, al-Qaida had found a
new safe haven.

"The problem is that the consequences could be terrible. I don't rule
out civil war. Barzani and Talabani [the two main Kurdish leaders] are
good leaders, but have the disadvantage of being Kurds. The Shiites
will never accept them. The other members of the government are either
puppets of Iran or thieves like Ahmad Chalabi" - the leader of the
pro-Washington Iraqi National Congress.

burn.
