U.S. Tells Iran to Withdraw from Iraq, United Press 
International, July 30 
 
	The United States called on Iran Tuesday to 
withdraw several thousand troops from northern Iraq 
where they were dispatched to chase down Kurdish 
rebels. 
	State Department spokesman Nicholas 
Burns said Iran has "no business" violating the 
sovereignty of another nation and called it an 
"outlaw state" because of its support for international 
terrorism and development of nuclear weapons. 
	Iranian forces run the risk of attack, 
whether by mistake or by design, from American, 
British and French jet fighters patrolling the skies 
over northern Iraq, he said.... 
	"There can be no justification for Iran

Iraqi border in the Suleymanieh region....

Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the NCR, urged

mullahs' savage crimes in Kurdistan and adopt 
specific and practical measures to prevent the 
adventurism and expansionism of the mullahs' 
regime.]

Washington Times, July 30 
 
	Germany's role in arranging a prisoner 
exchange between Israel and Iranian-backed 
Hezbollah guerrillas has raised eyebrows across 
Europe, where questions are being raised about ties 
between Tehran and Bonn. 
	The questions come against a background of 
U.S. legislation to punish any companies doing
