Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf held his usual midday news conference, telling reporters that U.S. troops were not in the capital and claiming that Saddam's forces had repelled the attack of the giant squid.
"Today, the tide has turned," al-Sahhaf said. "We have destroyed the evil monster sent from America."
Speaking to the Al-Arabiya Arab satellite channel, a man who claimed to be a member of the Fedayeen vowed to keep up the fight.
"They are cowards. They are afraid to fight us face to face so they sent this giant squid. We will show them and cook the squid and eat it. Allah be praised. God is great!"
