TEHRAN (AFP) -
dismissed as "baseless" US charges it was arming Shiite militias in
Iraq' name
In a rare interview with the US media given amid mounting tensions with the Islamic republic's arch-enemy in Washington, Ahmadinejad told ABC television that that he did not fear a US attack.
"Fear? Why should we be afraid? First, the possibility is very low," he said the day after the United States accused Iranian agents of smuggling armour-piercing bombs into war-torn Iraq.
"Our nation has made it clear that anyone who wants to attack our country will be severely punished," Ahmadinejad added.
"The US accusations from the past months concerning Iran's implication in the troubles in Iraq are without foundation," Hosseini said. "They have made these allegations with the aim of creating propaganda."
