Iraq: US Have Begun Propaganda War Against Russia - 25 March, 2003

Russia has not sold any high technology weapons to Iraq. As a Rosbalt correspondent reports, this was announced by Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saraf at a press conference in Baghdad today. He said that the US had started a propaganda war against Russia and emphasised that Iraq had not asked Russia for any help as it already has all the necessary resources to deal with the aggressor.

On Monday US President George Bush accused Russia of supplying highly accurate guidance systems and night vision equipment to Iraq.
