Baghdad - Iraqi Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf insisted on Saturday that coalition troops had been chased out of Saddam International Airport, which they had seized the day before.
"The Republican Guard is in full control of Saddam International Airport," Sahhaf insisted.
"We have defeated them, in fact we have crushed them. We have pushed them outside the whole area of the airport.
"The whole trend has been changed. The operation is moving in our interests, and I think we are going to finalise soon." - Sapa-AFP
