Title: IRAQ:  NEW ATTACKS ON KURDISH POSITIONS

by George Penintaex
NICOSIA, Nov. 26 (IPS) -- Iraqi tanks and helicopters today
launched new attacks on Kurdish positions in the northern regions
of Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, reports said.
The radio of the Democratic Party of Iraqi Kurdistan said the
Iraqi attacks had forced Kurds to withdraw to the towns of Rawandiz
and Diana near the Iranian border.
Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, the U.N. representative for
humanitarian programs in Iraq, said in Geneva that the use of Iraqi
helicopters against the Kurds was totally unacceptable.
He expressed hope that there would be no escalation of
hostilities as a result of recent attacks by Kurdish forces.
The prince last week failed to convince Baghdad to accept a U.N.
resolution allowing Iraq to sell $1.6 billion worth of oil to buy
food and medicine, but requiring it to set aside one-third of the
revenue for U.N. operations.
Iraqi Vice President Taha Moheiddeen Maarouf said today the
embargo would ail and added defiantly that Iraq would never cede
its sovereignty.
Meanwhile, thousands of Iraqi students demonstrated in the
center of Baghdad this morning calling for an end to the embargo
against their country.
According to Iraqi Health Minister Abdel Salam Mohammad, more
than 68,000 Iraqis, 20,000 of whom were children, had died since
the embargo was imposed 15 months ago.
