Bishop calls for Anti-War demo support February 14, 2003 (15:07) The Bishop of Clonfert has called on all Catholics to join the anti-war demonstration in Dublin tomorrow to show the Government how opposed they are to any war against Iraq. Dr John Kirby, who is also the head of the Trócaire aid agency, said that if there is a unilateral attack on Iraq without UN approval, the Irish Government should withdraw all co-operation with the US military at Shannon. Dr Kirby insisted he was not anti-American or pro-Saddam Hussein, but said it is important that ordinary people express their views on the proposed war. |

This follows the meetings between Papal emisaries and the Iraqi government and the confirmation by the Pentagon that covert operations have begun in Iraqi territory.
Is is likely that these operations are presently being carried out by a combiantion of British SAS and US special forces.
The Ministry of Defence in London has neither confirmed or denied the reports.
