Gifts flown to Iraqi children

Baghdad - An aircraft chartered by an Icelandic charity landed in Iraq yesterday bringing a Santa Claus, Christmas gifts and medicine for thousands of Iraqi children affected by UN sanctions. "Stop killing my children," the Santa shouted in front of reporters and Western television crews as he disembarked from the Russian aircraft chartered by the Reykjavik-based charity Peace 2000. The aircraft landed at Habbiniya airport, 100 km north-west of Baghdad.
