The 100 percent turnout, 100 percent ’yes’ vote shows all Iraqis are poised to defend Saddam against American forces, the country’s No. 2 man said. “If they come, we will fight them in every village, and every house,” said Izzat Ibrahim, vice chairman of Iraq’s Revolutionary Command Council, announcing results on what Iraq billed as a people’s referendum on keeping Saddam in power another seven years. “Every home will be a front, and every farmer, every shepherd, every Iraqi, will play his role,” Ibrahim said. “All Iraqis tire armed now, and by God’s will we will tri umph.” The White House had dis missed the one-man race in advance. “Obviously, it’s not a very serious day, not a very serious vote and nobody places any credibility on Someone who does not know the Iraqi people will not believe this percentage, but it is real. ing fists and shouting Saddam’s name.

Baghdad crackled with automatic weapon fire at the results, announced live on state TV. Men climbed to rooftops or leaned out balconies, firing into the air. At least one drove the streets shooting, one hand on the trigger and another on the wheel. “This referendum and the 100 percent shows that all Iraqis are ready to defend their country and their leader,” said Khaled Yusef, hopping up and down among a cluster of men dancing on a street corner. The celebration came on a day President Bush signed a congressional resolution authorizing mil itary force, if necessary, to ensure Iraq has no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons program. At the United Nations, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan backed tougher ground rules for arms inspections in Iraq, and urged Baghdad to use this “last chance.” Lawmakers were expected to go to Saddam late Wednesday or after to administer the oath of office for the new term. The 65-year-old Iraqi leader, mindful of security, has not appeared in public since December 2000.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Police and government offices were shaken by a series of par cel bombs that exploded within minutes of each other Wednesday in this volatile port city, injuring at least nine peo ple. Authorities said at least one of the packages had “from Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal,” writ ten on it — a reference to the United Action Front, a coalition of anti-American religious par ties that made unprecedented gains in last week’s national elections. Four other bombs were spot ted and defused, including two found at a courier service office that read “From the MM A to you, with love and flowers.” Still Sindh province Home Secretary Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh cautioned it was too early to say the group, whose Urdu-language initials are MMA, was actually behind the attacks. “At the moment we cannot say who is involved,” he said. In Islamabad, one of the reli gious bloc’s leaders, Riaz Durrani, condemned the bomb ings. “By writing the name of Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal on one of the parcels, some terrorists have tried to damage our cause ... We are against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,” he said. “We know anti-Islamic elements want to defame us with such acts.” E-mails claiming responsi bility on behalf of militant Muslims were received by a major Pakistani daily newspaper and a local news agency. Saying they were sent by “Asif Ramzi,” a well-known Pakistani militant, the e-mails said 35 packages containing about five ounces of explosives each had been mailed fromtto different post offices. The e-mails said the were “a warning to those poi" officers involved in operatic® against ’Mujahedeen’(holyw® riors) at the behest of ® Americans.” It threatened guerrilla oper tions would soon start ag “anti-Islam police officers other infidels.” Other Mus are planning a mass attac the United States, it said.
