- JEDDAH -- Former Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein, now being grilled by American investigators,
has reportedly warned US authorities that he will expose Washington's
"political games" and its behind-the-scene role in the occupation of
Kuwait.
-
- "Saddam threatened that if they continue to pressure
him he will reveal startling facts - about America's political games
with his country - that would shock the whole world," Al-Watan Arabic
daily quoted a high-level European source as saying.
-
- The source said Saddam had stopped answering the
investigators' questions and asked them to "give him enough time to
clear his mind." He did not elaborate further, the source added.
-
- The source confirmed that the investigators approached
Saddam with a list of Iraqi scientists involved in the development of
weapons of mass destruction but Saddam told them that they were
developing nuclear and chemical technology for civilian purposes, the
paper said.
-
- According to the European source close to US
investigators, Saddam also said that he would ask the International
Court of Justice in The Hague to try the United States for its crimes
against the Iraqi people for allegedly using internationally prohibited
weapons against the Iraqis during the last two wars against his
country.
-
- "If the Americans want to try me in a court of law,
they should also try high-ranking international officials," the source
quoted the former Iraqi dictator as saying. Saddam has insisted that his
statements are recorded verbatim, the paper said. The source said Saddam
neither prayed nor read the Qur'an, it added.
