7,000 civilian casualties from Allied bombings
NEW YORK, Feb 12 : Former US Attorney General Rama-sey Clark said Monday after returning from a one week trip to Iraq the best estimate he was given of civilian casualties from Allied bombing raids stood at 6,000 to 7.000, reports AFP.
Mr Clark said Dr Ibraham Al Noore, Director In Iraq of the Red Crescent Red Cross provided that figure basing it on communication with relief workers distributing hospital supplies around the country.
The peace activist and attorney told a news conference here opposite the United Nations that the United States was guilty of war crimes against civilians.
The bombing is a violation of international law. which all of us should always remember protects civilians. Mr. Clark stressed.
During the course of his 3,200 kilometer journey through Iraq, the activist said he saw hundreds of homes destroyed and other bomb damage in places where there's no possible military target.
Mr Clark said other individuals he questioned in Iraq were only able to estimate civilian death toils in their own surrounding areas.
Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams said Monday In Washington the United States was unable to determine how many civilians may have been killed 1n Allied bombing runs, and thus can not estimate a civilian casualty figure.
A Nicosia report says: Yesterday Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Saadoun Hammad! declared that Baghdad had chosen to fight for its sovereignty and said Iraq was holding up under an Allied air offensive. despite civilian casualties.
Mr. Hammad’, who was speaking in the Libyan capital Tripoli, charged in a dispatch from the Libyan news agency • JANA, monitored here, that "America and Zionism wanted to destroy all national progressive regimes tn the Arab world.'
He told Libyan leader Colonel Moamer Gaddafi that Iraq has chosen to fight and Is ready to defend its sovereignty and Its options."
"The situation in Iraq after the aggression is solid and good, despite civilian losses that the enemy has infiieted."
Mr. Hammad! arrived here Sunday from Jordan and left Monday for Tunisia, where he was met at the airport by Foreign Minister Habib Boulares.
He was later to hold talks with President Zinc El-Abdlne Ben AH.
