I will not apologise for war, says Blair

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday told Labour’s conference he would not apologise for ousting Saddam Hussein, but acknowledged that evidence that the Iraqi leader has weapons of mass destruction was wrong.

But he appealed to conference delegates: “Whatever disagreements we have had, (we) should unite in our determination to stand by the Iraqi people until the job is done.”

Despite tight security the premier was interrupted as he began his speech with a heckler shouting: “You have got blood on your hands.”
