Iraqi paper threatens Kuwait

The Iraqi daily al-Iraq said on Tuesday that Kuwait, which called on Jordan for cooperation in order to "humiliate" Iraq saying, "We are able to topple the Kuwaiti regime if we are wishing."

The mouthpiece for the Kurdish parties that are supportive of the Iraqi authorities said the rulers of Kuwait "are trying to isolate us at a time when Iraq is calling for the unity of the Arab stand, solidarity and normalizing of relations with the Arab states, with no exception."

The paper criticized Kuwaiti Information Minister Saad Muhammad Bin Taflah al-Ajami who announced last Saturday that detente between Jordan and Kuwait will strengthen the isolation of the Iraqi regime and speed up its toppling.

The paper said such Kuwaiti hopes are but a service to Zionist - US plans that aim at partitioning the Arab and Islamic states.
