"The American civil administrator in Iraq says Iraq has become one of the battlefields in the war on terrorism, following Tuesday's bomb attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad that killed 23 people. The remarks by Paul Bremer came as three British soldiers were killed in an attack in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
The head of the Coalition Provisional Authority said the attack on the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad was the work of terrorists and added that preventing such attacks poses the greatest difficult challenge to the intelligence community.
"Iraq has become a new field of battle in this worldwide terrorist fight," said Paul Bremer. "And therefore we will continue to refine our intelligence. But there is no such thing as 100 percent security against terrorism. And what we have to do is raise the threshold as high as we possibly can for terrorism, make it as difficult as possible for them."
