US intelligence warns of 'mini-Tet' in Iraq

A day after George Bush compared the potential consequences of exiting Iraq to the aftermath of the Vietnam conflict, US intelligence will today warn that extremists could create a "mini-Tet" in the country, an official revealed.

The defence official said the national intelligence assessment, due to be released later today, warned extremists could attempt sensational attacks in an attempt to replicate the 1968 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Tet offensive, which decisively undermined public support for the Vietnam war in the US.

However, the report did find "some progress with Sunnis", the source revealed. He said it found that Sunni insurgents in some areas had turned on al-Qaida through a programme in which US commanders negotiated ceasefires and tried to incorporate fighters into Iraqi government security forces.

But, according to the New York Times, the assessment also voiced doubts about the ability of the government of the prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, to overcome sectarian divisions and achieve political unity in Iraq.

On Tuesday, Mr Bush said "the Iraqi government's got to do more", but he appeared to retract his criticism in the face of a furious response from Mr Maliki, describing the Iraqi prime minister yesterday as "a good guy, good man with a difficult job".
