'We thought the war was over, but the sky is alive with jets once more.' (special report on the allies raid on Iraq)
Article Abstract:
Kuwaitis believe Saddam Hussein attracted allied attack to separate the West from the Arabs. The Algerians and Palestinians approve of him. Kuwatis prepare for his next actions by withdrawing their savings from the banks and staying indoors. Iraq does not accept the UN-amended border with Kuwait. Iraquis went across it several times to remove missiles and equipment from warehouses without asking permission.
