The newspaper of President Saddam Hussein 's eldest son said Thursday the conflict between Iraq and the United States was not over despite Baghdad's acceptance of a new U.N. resolution on disarmament. "Our allies and brothers should realize that the problem with the American administration and its ally Britain is not over. Perhaps it is resuming again," said Babel, Iraq's most influential newspaper, owned by Uday.

It said the U.S. government's "arrogant and cowboy-like" policy was untrustworthy.

Iraq accepted Wednesday a tough new U.N. resolution that gives Baghdad one last chance to disarm and paves the way for weapons inspectors to return after a four-year absence.

Babel said Iraq's compliance with the resolution reflected Baghdad's goodwill, denying it had weapons of mass destruction as President Bush's administration insisted.

It said now that it had accepted the U.N. terms, Iraq should be rewarded by the U.N. Security Council through lifting the 12-year-old sanctions, imposed for Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

Faced with a Friday deadline, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri surprised diplomats by submitting a letter of acceptance to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan two days early.

The nine-page letter castigated the United States and Britain as liars and denied Iraq had any weapons of mass destruction. It also accused other members of the U.N. Security Council, who approved the resolution in a 15-0 vote last Friday, of succumbing to American pressure.

Babel urged Russia, France and China to mount pressure on the Security Council to lift the U.N. sanctions on Iraq.
