New Saddam tape calls for uprising

A tape recording purporting to be Saddam Hussein calling for an uprising against US and British troops in Iraq was played by two Arab TV stations today.

“I appeal to you, O Iraqis, Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, Shia or Sunni, Christians or Muslims, it is your duty to expel the aggressor invaders from our country,” the tape said, according to a transmission by Lebanon’s Al Hayat-LBC channel.
