Saddam warns of war across world

SADDAM HUSSEIN last night warned if Iraq were attacked, it would take the war anywhere in the world "wherever there is sky, land or water".

The Iraqi president's threat was made during a meeting with military commanders and his remarks were carried by the official Iraqi News Agency.

"When the enemy starts a large-scale battle, he must realise that the battle between us will be open wherever there is sky, land and water in the entire world," Saddam told the commanders, according to the news agency.
