'More suicide attacks will follow'

BAGHDAD March 29. Iraq's Vice-President today threatened more suicide bombings against coalition troops, saying the suicide bomber who killed four U.S. soldiers outside Najaf was a non-commissioned army officer.

Addressing a news conference, Taha Yassin Ramadan identified the bomber as Ali Jaafar al-Noamani, a father of several children. A detailed statement on the bombing would be issued later, he said. ``This is just the beginning.''

Asked whether suicide bombings will now become a policy of the Iraqi military, Mr. Ramadan said: ``It will be routine military policy. We will use any means to kill our enemy in our land and we will follow the enemy into its land.''
