Late Night with Mohammed

Iraq's Information Minister said Tuesday it has no intention of surrendering to US forces which have seized parts of Baghdad. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf said Iraqi troops had the situation under control.

"We are going to tackle them and going to destroy them," he told reporters. "We will not surrender," he said. "The US will surrender or we will burn their tanks.

"Baghdad is bracing to pummel the invaders." Al-Sahaf claimed the invasion forces was deliberately targeting civilians and the offices of television companies.

He said US troops were "isolated and bombing from a distance" and in an "hysterical state".

Wait a minute Mo, I'm confused. I thought we were committing suicide outside the walls of Baghdad. I thought we weren't even there. It's just so hard to keep up with this busy, busy officer of information!
