Iraq warns of foolish strike amid Clinton scandal
An Iraqi newspaper warned that the United States could launch a foolish military action against Iraq to distract from President Clinton's sex scandal, though allies' support likely falters. Babil also noted Iraqis preparing for weapons training as a safeguard against US plotting. In India, Congress apologized for the 1992 Babri Mosque demolition and denied Rao a run, aiming to appease Muslims ahead of elections as BJP gains momentum.
