US overseer in Iraq Paul Bremer pledged that the US-led coalition would speed up the handover of political and security powers to Iraqis after a surge of car bombings and other attacks.
Bremer also vowed the coalition would stand firm and not abandon Iraq in the face of the mounting violence against civilians and the rising number of US soldiers killed in action.
The US boss in Iraq declared his forces wanted to kill or capture Saddam Hussein as the coalition continued to scour the countryside for the fugitive dictator, with a 25-million-dollar price on his head.
'We will seek ways to accelerate the transfer of authority to the government of Iraq,' Bremer told his first press conference in Baghdad since a suicide bombing spree claimed the lives of 43 people and wounded more than 200 last Monday."
