Saddam 'supporters' vow revenge

A Saddam supporter said the US would 'burn'

A group described as supporters of Saddam Hussein has appeared on the Arabic TV channel al-Jazeera.

The video footage, which the TV said was shot in an unidentified location in Iraq, shows a group of masked men brandishing assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

The men, who are also holding up a picture of Saddam Hussein, threaten to carry out attacks in the United States, Britain and Israel to avenge the deaths of the ousted Iraqi president's sons.

We will make them regret what they did to Uday and Qusay

"If this report about Uday and Qusay proves to be true, we will burn all of the United States," one of the men says.

"The United States, Britain and Israel will not have peace. We will carry out operations inside the United States, inside Britain, inside Israel, and inside Iraq."

"We will make them regret what they did to Uday and Qusay."

"All the Iraqis are ready, and are people of resistance. God willing, we will take revenge."
