Iraq to show captives on TV
Iraqi vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan has claimed that American prisoners of war were being held.
"Within hours you will watch American prisoners on TV screens and you will see films of burnt tanks," he said.
Ramadan made the claim during a news conference in Baghdad. The claim could not immediately be substantiated.
He also denied speculation that Iraqi president Saddam Hussein had been injured in the attacks that began four days ago.
"I think for the past four days you have seen the president on television.
"You have seen the president more than once," he said.
Group Capt. Al Lockwood, spokesman for British forces in the Gulf, said: "We have no knowledge of any of our coalition people being taken prisoner of war."
