Former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark on Monday voiced his support for Iraq's resistance against US threats to launch military actions on the country, the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported.

Clark, who is visiting Baghdad, asserted his stance to support the Iraqi people and their steadfastness to confront US war threats during his meeting with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz.

The former senior US official told Aziz that public opinion in the United States and other parts of the world has started to move against the US administration's possible plans to attack Iraq.

For his part, Aziz told Clark that the US administration will face "fighting people led by a striving leadership" and the "steadfastness and resistance of Iraqi people will thwart the imperialist plans."

"Any aggression by the US administration will vehemently fail," the Iraqi deputy prime minister added.

US President George W. Bush, who accused Iraq of pursuing weapons of mass destruction and supporting terrorism, has repeatedly vowed to achieve a "regime change" in Iraq with all the tools at his disposal.

However, Iraq has remained adamant in the face of growing US saber-rattling.
