Iraq accuses Arab neighbors
of green lighting U.S. attacks
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
Iraq accused Arab govern
ments Wednesday of giving
the United States the “green
light’’ to step up its military
campaign against President
Saddam Hussein’s govern
ment.
And, in the latest show of
official anger over lack of Arab
support, Iraq’s Parliament
HUSSEIN
called on the people of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
to overthrow their rulers for supporting the
U.S.-British airstrikes on Iraq last month.
The “Arab masses are called upon to stage a
revolution against these agent regimes,” a state
ment issued by the Parliament said at the end
of a two-day debate.
Tensions have increased since the Dec. 16-
19 bombardment, with Iraqi air defense units
regularly sparring with U.S. planes patrolling
the no-fly zones over northern and southern
Iraq. The planes have responded by firing mis
siles. At least two errant missiles killed 11 civil
ians Monday, Iraqi officials say.
A government statement said the United
States was emboldened by the failure of Arab
countries to criticize the attacks at their foreign
ministers’ meeting in Egypt on Sunday.
President Clinton “considered that as a green
light... to go on this aggressive attitude against
Iraq and to go on violating its sovereignty and
its skies,” said the statement from an unidenti
fied official spokesperson carried by the Iraqi
News Agency.
The December bombardment followed Iraq’s
refusal to allow some work by a U.N. commis
sion overseeing the dismantling of Iraq’s chem
ical, nuclear and biological weapons.
Until the commission certifies Iraq is free of
illegal weapons, the U.N. Security Council can
not lift sanctions imposed after Iraq’s 1990 in
vasion of Kuwait, which led to the 1991 Gulf
War.
U.S. National Security Adviser Sandy Berger
said TUesday that Clinton has told the U.S. mil
itary to respond more aggressively to Iraqi chal
lenges to American and allied aircraft in the no-
fly zones, which were set up by the United
States and Britain to protect opposition groups.
Iraqi officials have called the no-fly zones il
legal. Iraq has yet to hit any U.S. or British
planes.
Also Wednesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Is
mail Cem reiterated his country’s refusal to let
U.S. and British jets use Turkey’s Incirlik air
base as a staging point for bombing raids on
Iraq. He said allied warplanes coming from In
cirlik could only strike at Iraqi defense systems
if they were threatened.
“It is not possible under our agreements, for
planes taking off from Incirlik to attack or bomb
Iraq,” Cem said. “They may intervene and de
fend themselves if they face danger.”

Colombians recover from earthquake
South American country still suffering from aftershocks
ARMENIA, Colombia (AP)
— Driven by hunger, survivors
of a deadly earthquake dashed
into supermarkets to strip their
shelves clean Wednesday as
shortages of food, water and
antibiotics worsened the mis
ery wrought by one of Colom
bia’s worst disasters.
The toll from Monday’s
magnitude-6 earthquake in
western Colombia reached
878 dead and more than 3,410
injured Wednesday, Red Cross
spokesperson Maria Perrelet
said. That number was ex
pected to rise as more debris
was cleared.
Rescue teams arrived from
Britain and the United States
to help find survivors and pull
bodies from hundreds of
downed buildings in this city
of 300,000 people. Using
heavy machinery, rescuers un
covered corpses throughout
Armenia, but hope of finding
new survivors was dwindling
fast.
With need overwhelming
available supplies, Armenia’s
residents took matters into
their own hands, breaking
down the gates of a downtown
supermarket and stealing rice,
cooking oil, flour and rum.
Debris fell from the upper
reaches of the damaged four-
story building housing the
store, sending panicked loot
ers fleeing into the street in
fear of aftershocks.
In all, 27 aftershocks have
struck Colombia since Mon
day, and a 5.4-magnitude
quake rocked the northeast
Wednesday but caused no
damage.
Luis Valderrama, 30, and
two friends pushed a red su
permarket cart loaded with
goods down 19th Street to
ward their home in the El Pra-
dito Bajo neighborhood.
“It isn’t stealing. The
store’s totally destroyed, and
nobody has a house, nobody
has food. All this is to share
with the people,” he said.
Armenia police Chief Col.
Dagoberta Garcia watched
helplessly. “We don’t have the
capacity to stop it,” he said.
Other police expressed
sympathy for the looters.
“You can’t fight against
hunger,” said police Lt. Jorge
Duque.
Throughout Armenia, the
worst-hit city where more than
500 cadavers have been un
covered, people desperately
seeking food, water and cloth
ing formed block-long lines at
relief stations.
Others jammed the city’s
main access roads in an at
tempt to leave.
“There’s nothing to eat.
There’s no milk. There’s noth
ing,” said Edgar Angulo, 38,
who stood despondent next to
a rapidly emptying supply
jeep.
Victims approached any
stranger asking for help.
“You don’t know where I
can find a doctor?” said Fer
nando Gomez, who said his
children — who have only eat
en bread and sugar water
since Monday — were suffer
ing from a virus.
