Haider, a long-time friend of Foreign Minister Naji Sabri and a harsh critic of U.S. policy in the Middle East, was asked if Sabri could count on refuge in Carinthia, where Haider is governor, if the Iraqi leadership is forced to flee.   "There is always room in my home for a friend," Haider told the Austrian magazine News. The two have been friends since Sabri was ambassador in Vienna in the 1990s.   Haider last month praised Iraqi President Saddam Hussein as an Arab visionary. He was forced to quit national politics last year amid uproar after he met Saddam in Baghdad and expressed support for the Iraqi leader.   Haider accused the United States of going to war for Iraq's oil. "I personally would be delighted if the Iraqis succeed in defending themselves from this aggression," Haider told News.   http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=BXP0Z2IZC21T CCRBAE0CFFA?type=worldNews&storyID=2501603   ############################################################ ############################################################

Aziz meets Haider

BAGHDAD: Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister, Tariq Aziz, has met the visiting Austrian far-right leader, Joerg Haider, and called for concerted action against ``international plots'' against Iraq, Baghdad newspapers said on Tuesday. Papers said Mr. Aziz gave Mr. Haider an analysis of the current international situation and ``international plots led by the United States and Zionism against Iraq.'' He called for confrontation against these plots at international and European level. The U.S. has indicated it is considering military action against Iraq as one of its options in its ``war in terrorism'', and has accused Baghdad of developing weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Haider, de facto leader of Austria's Freedom Party, arrived in Baghdad on Monday. A Foreign Ministry statement said he had been invited by the non-governmental Iraqi Friendship, Peace and Solidarity Organisation. The Government newspaper al-Jumhouriya said Mr. Aziz and Mr. Haider reviewed bilateral relations and ``emphasised the need to continue ooperation between the Freedom Party of Austria and the (Iraqi ruling) Baath party in the service of the peoples of the two friendly countries". The Freedom Party is part of Austria's ruling coalition along with conservative Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's People's Party. — Reuters
