U.S. Army in Iraq vows to take Hizbullah threats against Kuwait into serious consideration

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: The Spokesman for the American Army in Iraq , General Jeffery Buchanan, has vowed on Saturday to take the threats by Hizbullah detachments in Iraq to attack Kuwait seriously, pointing out that those detachments have had a bad record in killing Iraqis and Americans.   “The threats by Hizbullah detachments to attack Kuwait shall be taken seriously into consideration,” the U.S. General told the Kuwaiti al-Qabas newspaper on Saturday, confirming the existence of “possibility to destroy the majority of those illegal militias, through intelligence information, in order to launch an offensive against all members of the said (Hizbullah) network, which had a bad past in killing Iraqis and Americans.”   “We don’t possess any information about the above topic, or whether those (Hizbullah) detachments possess rockets or not,” he said.   General Buchanan said “that supporting any terrorist group in this country or any other country, preparing to attack the neighboring states is incorrect,” calling on Iraq ’s neighboring states to “respect Iraq ’s sovereignty, through the exchange of viewpoints among governments, instead of exchanging fire across their borders.”   The underground Hizbullah detachments in Iraq had warned the companies working in Kuwait’s Mubarak Port, to stop working there, calling on the Iraqi government to take necessary decisions to stop the works for building the said Kuwaiti Port.   SKH (RT)   500
