Badr Corps responds to Rumsfeld's warning
According to the Associated Press, Abu Eslam al-Saqir, a top adviser to council leader Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, said the Badr Corps would not seek confrontation with U.S. and allied forces.
''Our Badr army is not seeking any military confrontation with coalition forces. We only fight Saddam,'' al-Saqir told The Associated Press.
As for the Iranian government, their spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh was quoted Saturday by the official Islamic Republic News Agency as saying:
Tehran is surprised that Americans have come from the other side of the globe and are interfering in Iraq's internal affairs but say if Iraqi opposition carries out any action it would be interference in the internal affairs of their own country.
He added that Iran believes that the war is ''meaningless'' and ''illegitimate'' and that ''only American warmongers will benefit.''
