      Hamas Urges Iraq to Use Suicide Bombers Against US

      JABALYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (Reuters) - A leader of the militant Palestinian group Hamas urged Iraq on Friday to use suicide bombers to confront any U.S. military offensive.

      "I call on Iraq to prepare an army of would-be martyrs and prepare tens of thousands of explosive belts," Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi told 3,000 Hamas supporters at a pro-Iraq rally in the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

      "Blow yourselves up against the American army. Bomb them in Baghdad," said Rantissi, whose Islamic fundamentalist organization has carried out dozens of suicide attacks in Israel before and during a Palestinian uprising for statehood.

      "I call on all Arab nations to burn the ground underneath the feet of the Americans in all capitals," he added.

      The rally was held against the backdrop of U.S. preparations for possible war against Iraq over its alleged weapons of mass destruction.

      Shouting "Death to America" and "Victory from Jerusalem to Baghdad," the demonstrators burned U.S., Israeli and British flags.

      Iraq has paid millions of dollars to families of Palestinians, including those of suicide bombers, killed by Israeli forces since the start of the uprising in September 2000
