Iraqi Information Minister Mohamed Said Al-Sahaf on Thursday evening paid a visit to injured civilians at a hospital in Baghdad, a Xinhua eyewitness reported.
Nine Iraqi civilians, who were injured in the US air raids at dawn on Thursday, were receiving medical treatment at the hospital, which is located some 25 kilometers to the center of Baghdad.
Al-Sahaf on Thursday morning urged the Iraqi people to stand steadfast and rally behind Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
"This day will be long remembered in the history of Iraq as the day when Allah honored the Iraqis with Jihad," said Al-Sahaf in a radio address.
