The Miind i ly is a me ber of The Associa ed PressnddThe in this video frame taken from television, Presi- dent Bush addresses the nation from the Oval Office in Washington last night. Bush: Terror wr 'Cang of our gepneration' Bush admits Saddam Hussein not responsible for 9/11 attacks, but strongly defends War in Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) - Five years after the worst attack on U.S. soil, President Bush said yesterday night the war against terrorism is "the calling of our generation" and urged Americans to put aside differ- ences and fight to victory. "America did not ask for this war, and every Amer- ican wishes it were over," Bush said in a prime-time address from the Oval Office. "The war is not over - and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious." Bush also staunchly defended the war in Iraq though he acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. His address came at the end of a day in which he visited New York, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon to honor victims of the attacks that rocked his presi- dency and thrust the United States into a costly and unfinished war against terror. "We are now in the early hours of this struggle between tyranny and freedom," the president said. As for Iraq, he said Saddam's regime, while lack- ing weapons of mass destruction, was a threat that posed "a risk the world could not afford to take." At least 2,670 U.S. servicemen and women have died in Iraq, which Bush calls the central front in the war on terror. "Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq, the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone," the president said. "They will not leave us alone. They will follow us." The nation is split over the war-in Iraq and Bush's 'handling of it, and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), accused Bush of playing politics. NEWS IN BRIEF GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Fatah, Hamas make deal to share power Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas struck a deal yesterday to share power with the militant Islamic Hamas, an accord that could restore international aid and could lead to contacts with Israel. The breakthrough compromise falls short of international demandsthat Hamasfully renounce violence, but Israeli officials still voiced cautious support for the accord. Hamas, which is committed to Israel's destruction, swept to victory in January leg- islative elections, defeating Fatah, and formed a government by itself. The West and Israel reacted by cutting off hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, accusing Hamas of being a terrorist group. Initially, Palestinians held the West and Israel to blame for their misfortune, but in recent weeks, they have directed that criticism at the government. Tens of thou- sands of civil servants launched a strike this month to protest the government's failure to pay them. A two-month Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip - begun after Hamas-linked militants infiltrated Israel and captured a soldier - has added to the Palestinians' misery. BAGHDAD Saddam accuses opponents of racial hatred A defiant Saddam Hussein accused Kurdish witnesses at his genocide trial yester- day of trying to divide Iraqis by alleging chemical attacks and mass arrests during a crackdown that the prosecution says killed up to 180,000 people. Three Kurdish witnesses told of brutal repression during Operation Anfal, the 1987-88 campaign against a Kurdish revolt in the final stages of Iraq's war with Iran. Saddam accused the Kurds of helping Iran in the war. One of the witnesses, a Kurdish-American, said she saw people sickened and dying during a chemical attack and demanded compensation from foreign companies that supplied Saddam with chemicals, supposedly for agriculture. "All the witnesses said in the courtroom that they were oppressed because they were Kurds," Saddam shouted after hearing the testimony. "They're try- ing to create strife between the people of Iraq. They're trying to create division between Kurds and Arabs and this is what I want the people of Iraq to know. KABUL, Afghanistan Suicide bomber kills 6 at state funeral In a further assault on the embattled Afghan government, a suicide bomber killed six people yesterday at the funeral of a provincial governor who was assassinatedby the Taliban. Four senior Cabinet ministers escaped injury. The attack occurred near a tent where more than 1,000 people had congregated in the Tani district of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan. The bombing caused car- nage and chaos, and police fired in the air to control panicked mourners who feared there might be a second blast. The funeral was for Gov. Abdul Hakim Taniwal, who was killed Sunday with two other people in a suicide attack outside his office in Gardez, the capital of Paktia prov- ince. Taniwal was the most senior official slain in a series of Taliban assaults. CAIRO, New al-Qaida video threatens Gulf and Israel Al-Qaida's No. 2 condemned U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon as enemies of Islam and warned the terror group will strike the Persian Gulf and Israel, suggest- ing new fronts in its war against the West in a video yesterday marking the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The video of Ayman al-Zawahri was one of three al-Qaida released for the anniver- sary, showing increasingly sophisticated techniques as the group tries to demonstrate that it remains a powerful, confident force five years into the U.S. war on terror. - Compiled from Daily wire reports CORRECTIONS Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@michigandaily.com.
