U.S. a Threat to All Arabs, Hussein Says
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said in an interview published Tuesday that the United States is threatening the entire Arab world, not just Iraq.
“The latest is a Zionist-American [aggression] against the Arab world represented by Palestine and Iraq,” Hussein said in the interview, published in several Arab newspapers, including Qatar’s Al Sharq and the United Arab Emirates’ Al Khaleej.
The interview, the first with Hussein to appear in years, was conducted by Mohammed Misfir, a political science professor at the University of Qatar and former editor in chief of the Qatari daily Al Rayah.
Misfir met Hussein in Baghdad earlier this month.
