IRAQ: Trying To Shrug Off Defections
In a public statement yesterday, Saddam Husayn compared his son-in-law
Husayn Kamil to Judas but dismissed the significance of his defection.
Deputy Prime Minister Aziz said publicly that Husayn Kamil's defection
would not affect Baghdad's policy toward the UN and denied that Iraq poses
a threat to Jordan

� Saddam is trying to project an image of stability and to dispel
speculation that his regime is faltering.
The comments also suggest that Baghdad's threats to stop cooperating with
the UN unless sanctions are eased by monthend remain in effect.
Meanwhile, US-brokered talks in Dublin between the Kurdistan
Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan ended yesterday with
agreement on a temporary cease-fire, according to press reports. ICDP and
PUK representatives agreed to keep working toward a solution under which
the regional capital of Irbil would be demilitarized and the KIR would share
revenue from lucrative customs posts it controls.
� A similar settlement fell apart late last year. The PUK's reluctance
to surrender Irbil has been a major stumblingblock.
