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 SARS illness.
"Today, the tide has turned," al-Sahhaf said. "We have destroyed the SARS desease 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 the SARS illness. We will show them and repell the demon of the wind. Allah be praised. God is great!"
