Kurdish rebels seize Iraqi camp while citizens face starvation
NEWS:864-4810
The Associated Press
ZAKHO, Iraq — Kurdish rebels yesterday claimed they had seized a government-held air base and camp in northern Iraq but said there were signs Saddam Hussein's forces were preparing for an assault on a key rebel-held city.
A statement from the Kurdistan Democratic Party said the Iraqi army was massing forces in Saddam's hometown of Tikit or back on the northern oil city of Kukuh, which
The statement, sent to The Associated Press in Nicosia, Cyprus, by telex, could not be confirmed independently.
Saddam has been struggling to quell rebellions in the north and south that flared after his defeat by the allies in the Persian Gulf War. The fighting halted with a cease-fire a month ago.
President Bush said yesterday that it was unlikely that Saddam would remain in power for long because the Iraqi people were fed up with him.
"There's enough dissent and disorder, but it appears the Iraqi citizens are trying to do something about this," he told reporters in Bethesda, Md.
Kurdish leaders reported gains in northern Iraq — but also heavy casualties. They said guerrillas overran an Iraqi air base near Kirkuk on Tuesday and captured two Soviet-
made warplanes, a MIG-21 fighter and a Soviet made Sukhoi bomber.
The rebels also said they seized a government camp at Faardiaa, on the road from Damascus.
They said the two installations were among the last that government forces controlled in Iraq.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party said in a statement issued in London that the attack on the Khalid military air base was launched to stop the bombing of rebel held areas.
The statement said that more than 1,000 people were killed in the past week in air attacks on the northern cities of Kirkum, Kefri, Dohuk, Kalar and Tuz Khormatu.
The Kurds said they feared a new threat salvation. The only supply route open is now across the border from Turkey.
In southern Iraq, where Saddam's forces largely have succeeded in putting down rebellions by Shite Muslims, hunger was a major threat to the thousands of refugees fleeing into allied-controlled areas.
In the Iraqi border town of Sarafan, food

begins to reopen its borders.
"We tried to organize, but the people are just too hungry," said MaJ. Yousef Ali Albouri of the Saudi military "They see the food, and they so crazy."
No serious injuries were reported in the
rioting.
At the United Nations, a new Security Council resolution would hold Iraq liable for the environmental harm caused by tactics such as dumping millions of gallons of oil in the Persian Gulf and setting Kuwait's oil wells alight.
The permanent members of the Security Council - the United States, Britain, France, China and the Soviet Union - meet in private to refine their checklist of conditions the Baghdad government must meet before a permanent cease-fire is approved.
Under the measure, Iraq would have to let U. experts destroy its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
