US says Iraqi troops hiding weapons in schools, hospitals, mosques

WASHINGTON (AFP) Apr 04, 2003
Iraqi forces are hiding arms and missiles in schools and hospitals, a US Defense Department spokeswoman said Friday.

"We continue to see the enemy putting military assets in and around schools, hospitals, mosques, homes, embassies, clearly hoping to blame any civilian deaths on coalition forces," the spokeswoman, Victoria Clarke, told a Pentagon news briefing.
