- French police have banned the sale of a hit record called
- Go for It Saddam, a paean to the Iraqi dictator. Recorded in
- Arabic by Algerian singer Mohamed Mazouni, the song is popular
- with France's North African youth. The single, which was
- available in both audio- and videocassette versions, attacks
- the West for the war and ends on an apocalyptic note: "Where
- are you, Muslims?/ You permitted Bush/ to tread in the Holy
- Shrines . . . other Arabs are hypnotized by the dollar . . .
- /Oil prices rise, the atomic bomb/ is being made to terrorize
- Israel."
