Saturday, February 17 6:35 AM SGT Iraq vows to fight on to victory against US BAGHDAD, Feb 17 (AFP) - Iraq vowed Saturday to fight on to victory against the United States and blamed the first US bombing of Baghdad in two years on a Zionist plot. The pledge came in an official communique released after President Saddam Hussein chaired a meeting of military and political chiefs in Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council and the ruling Baath party. "The aggression will not force Iraq to give up its rights," said the statement. "Aggression and threats do not discourage Iraq." "Iraq will continue to fight them (enemies) on land, in the air and at sea. Iraq will finally win," it vowed. "This aggression is explained by a Zionist and American plot and prepares the ground for operations by the Zionist entity against the Arabs and Palestinians," the communique said. Two dozen US and British warplanes struck five Iraqi radar and command posts north of the 33rd parallel, US authorities said. According to the communique the bombings hit the suburbs of Baghdad.
