Iraqi Embassy in Brazil Burns Documents
6 minutes ago

BRASILIA, Brazil - Employees at the Iraqi Embassy here began burning documents Wednesday afternoon as TV stations began broadcasting images of a statue of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) being toppled in Baghdad, police said.



Police said they could see men outside the embassy burning boxes and large quantities of paper.

Police said the fire did not appear to present a danger of spreading. Media photographers who arrived a short time saw three piles of smoldering paper inside the embassy's walls next to the embassy building.

An embassy official who said he was the secretary of Iraqi Ambassador Jarallah Alobaidy denied documents were being destroyed.

"It's all lies," said the man, who would only identify himself as Abdu. "We are only burning garbage and recently cut grass."

A short time later, a man who answered the phone at the embassy said only, "I'm not working now" before hanging up.
