Rubin said the Clinton administration was still considering whether to supply arms, vehicles and other military equipment to the designated opposition groups. The administration had decided to designate seven opposition groups including the INC headed by Ahmed Chalabi. The others are the Kurdistan Democratic Party, headed by Masud Barzani, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, headed by Jalal Talabani, and a group of constitutional monarchists headed by Sharif Hussein, a claimant to the long-abolished Iraqi throne.
