Iraq hints at attack on allied targets
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The Iraqi government said Sunday it could attack American and British bases in the Persian Gulf that are used to launch airstrikes against Iraq.
"We, by help from God and support from the sons of our glorious Arab nation, including true and sincere nationalists ... in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have the ability to attack the soldiers and means of aggression from whatever region," Iraqi television said, quoting a statement from President Saddam Hussein and senior leaders.
The statement came amid a simmering war of nerves with the United States and Britain over "nofly" zones imposed in northern and southern Iraq. Iraq does not recognize the zones and has vowed to fire at any plane that violates its airspace.
The zones were set up by the Unite States, Britain and France after the 1991 Persian Gulf War to prevent the Iraqi air force from attacking rebel in the north and south.
The United States has accused Iraq of more than 90 violations of the nc zones since mid-December. It sah U.S. and British forces have retaliated by attacking more than 40 Iraq targets.
The statement did not specify what type of action Iraq would take against the U.S. and British bases.
Both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have opened their air bases to U.S. and British planes that patrol the u.n. fly zones.
Gun makers found guilty
Verdict could trigger increase in lawsuits
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A Brooklyn jury's unprecedented verdict finding gun makers liable for shootings could give a boost to other cities around the nation that are suing the industry.
Other cities are going to have it a whole lot easier now, said David Yasky, a Brooklyn Law School professor who closely followed the trial.
"They have a very solid precedent that what the gun industry does is negligent," he said.
Chicago, New Orleans, Bridgeport, Conn., and Miami-Dade County are suing the industry to recoup the costs of fighting gun violence. Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Baltimore are among those considering the move.
Mayor Richard M. Daley of
Chicago said the Brooklyn verdict demonstrated that people were demanding that the gun industry be held accountable. Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas hailed it as a major victory with major ramifications.
Others argued that Thursday's verdict proved an awkward outcome to an awkward case, making its impact uncertain.
Dave Kopel of the Independence Institute, a conservative think tank in Golden, Colo., said the jury had been asked to fix a social problem by blaming gun makers for illegal use of legal products — despite little or no evidence that those manufacturers' brands were involved in any of the shootings at issue.
"This is a compromise verdict that makes no sense at all," said Kopel, who is also an adjunct law professor at New York University Law School. "The jury didn't know the first thing about what was going on."
The verdict came after a month-long trial in federal court.
