(11:15) Iraqi TV: US 'Reaping Fruits of Crimes Against Humanity'
The following is the text of a commentary broadcast yesterday on Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television in Arabic at 1700 GMT.
The station is the official television station of the Iraqi Government.
"The American cowboy is reaping the fruits of his crimes against humanity.
"It is a black day in the history of America, which is tasting the bitter defeat of its crimes and disregard for peoples' will to lead a free, decent life.
"The massive explosions in the centers of power in America, notably the Pentagon, is a painful slap in the face of US politicians to stop their illegitimate hegemony and attempts to impose custodianship on peoples.
"It was no coincidence that the World Trade Center was destroyed in suicidal operations involving two planes that have broken through all US security barriers to carry the operation of the century and to express rejection of the reckless US policy.
"Panic has spread among US official circles, which evacuated the White House following a series of explosions.
"They also evacuated the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress and closed down the airports and government institutions.
"The collapse of US centers of power is a collapse of the US policy, which deviates from human values and stands by world Zionism at all international forums to continue to slaughter the Palestinian Arab people and implement US plans to dominate the world under the cover of what is called the new [world] order.
"These are the fruits of the new US order.
Former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu called upon all democratic nations of the world to join an
international coalition to crush the terrorist organizations and the regimes that sponsor them.
Netanyahu warned last night that the attacks could be a harbinger of worse tragedies that could kill millions of people once Iran or Iraq acquire nuclear weapons.
America under attack Express your thoughts on what the future holds for the United States, Israel and the free world in the wake of the mass terror attack on the
US.
