14Dec03-Reuters-U.S. General Sees More Attacks Despite Capture

Sun December 14, 2003 08:07 AM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The capture of former President Saddam Hussein will not end attacks against U.S.-led forces in Iraq, the top U.S. general in Iraq said Sunday.
"We do not expect at this point in time that we will have a complete elimination of those attacks," Lieutenant-General Ricardo Sanchez told a news conference in Baghdad.

Asked if he expected attacks to avenge Saddam's arrest, Sanchez said: "Do I expect an increase in retaliation? I don't know, but we're prepared."

U.S. officials blame Saddam supporters and Muslim militants for guerrilla attacks that have killed 197 American soldiers since President Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq on May 1.
