The Crime of Dujail: Saddam's Revenge

Ceasefire in Falkland Islands, Says Thatcher British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher announced a ceasefire between British and Argentine forces on the Falkland Islands. Thatcher�s statement, addressed to the House of Commons, was greeted with a round of applause from all parties. British warships have been stationed in the Falklands since April, just shy of three weeks after Argentina invaded South Georgia. More than 800 people have been killed in fighting in the surrounding area since. The ceasefire calls for British troops to use their weapons only in self defense while negotiations take place for the surrender of the Junta's army on the islands. The Falklands War highlights years of disputed ownership of the islands.

The fierce resistance by Iraqi forces within their own territory proves, according to Iraqis, that the Shiite population will not join forces with Iran, nor rise up to topple Iraqi President Hussein. At least 80,000 Iranian and Iraqi soldiers have been killed since the start of the Iran-Iraq war two years ago.
