BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi people have set to work hauling away rubble and beginning the process of rebuilding structures damaged by four days of airstrikes by the United States and Britain.

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet Monday to discuss the airstrikes, which sparked protests across the Arab world, and were condemned by China, Russia and other countries, while Japan, Australia and other nations supported them.

U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Sunday 100 targets were hit over the four nights of attacks -- 400 cruise missiles were launched and 650 sorties were flown.

Albright said nine missile research and development facilities were hit, 18 of 19 weapons of mass destruction security aspects -- the Republican Guard and special concealment units --were destroyed, 20 command and control areas were damaged or destroyed, and eight palaces were hit.

But Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations, Nizar Hamdoon , said the attacks had claimed many lives and inflicted "enormous damage" on Iraq's infrastructure.

"I'm told that the casualties are in the thousands, in terms of people who were killed or wounded," he said. Those figures have not been confirmed by international agencies.

Hamdoon said Sunday his country no longer will work with U.N. weapons inspectors.

"I think that UNSCOM (U.N. Special Commission) has, in its own hands, destroyed everything that has been achieved in the past because of Iraq's cooperation," Hamdoon said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Hamdoon said that since the missile strikes had destroyed the sites UNSCOM was inspecting, there was no reason for the inspectors to return.

During the airstrikes, Iraq declared it would cease dealings with UNSCOM inspectors.

U.S. and British forces on Saturday night ended the airstrikes, ordered after what chief U.N. weapons inspector Richard Butler labeled Iraq's repeated refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspections.

The Iraqi ambassador reiterated Baghdad's contention that Butler's report was written in collusion with the Clinton administration to justify the attacks.

"I don't think there's any doubt about that ... especially in the corridors of the Security Council," said Hamdoon.

Butler, also on "Late Edition," labeled the contention "plainly untrue."

"I formulated my report ... on the basis of final reports from UNSCOM chief inspectors," he said. "What others decided to do about it, including the United States and the United Kingdom, was their decision."

Clinton administration officials have said the mission accomplished its stated purpose, to degrade and diminish Hussein's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of war.

Military leaders said the attacks, which consisted of 400 cruise missile launches and 200 aircraft strikes targeting 100 sites, inflicted substantial damage on Iraq's military and political infrastructure.

U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen has said the attack set back Iraq's weapons capability by one year.

On Sunday, the Pentagon released more video from Operation Desert Fox.

The four clips show the destructive results of strikes by F-16s and B-1Bs. The targets included barracks for Hussein's Republican Guard, a storage support building and a radar facility.

An Iraqi parliamentarian said Saturday that 68 people died in the bombings. Hamdoon said on Sunday he believed "the casualties are in the thousands, in terms of people who were killed or wounded."

Iraqi officials maintain some of the targets included a hospital, a school, government buildings and an oil refinery.

The United States says it struck the refinery to stop illegal oil smuggling.

Despite the devastation, Iraqi leader Hussein seemed triumphant Sunday.

Dressed in military fatigues and invoking the name of God, Hussein told his people in a televised speech that their country had achieved victory.

"You were up to the level that your leadership and brother and comrade Saddam Hussein had hoped you would be at ... so God rewarded you and delighted your hearts with the crown of victory," Hussein said in a broadcast on the Qatari satellite television station al-Jazeera.

Meanwhile, Iraqis cursed the United States and Clinton on Sunday as they climbed out of bomb shelters following the end of the bombing campaign.

"Long live Saddam! Death! Death to Clinton!" several hundred demonstrators shouted in central Baghdad.

The bombings ended as the Iraqis began observing the holy month of Ramadan, a time of spiritual purification and renewal in which Muslims fast during the day and feast at night.

Clinton said Saturday that the United States would continue monitoring a no-fly zone over parts of Iraq, retain extensive sanctions against the country and allow Iraq to continue selling oil in exchange for food and medicine.

He did not rule out more attacks if Iraq resumes development of banned weapons.

The United States and Britain are also beefing up their military presence in the region. The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier recently moved into the Persian Gulf, where it will be joined early next year by a British counterpart, HMS Invincible.

In the aftermath of the raids, which sparked protests across the Arab world, angered Russia and France, and stirred criticism from Western nations, the U.N. Security Council was scheduled to meet Monday.
