THE United States may install King Abdullah of Jordan to front a US-backed military government in Iraq, acclaimed war correspondent Robert Fisk claimed last night.

Mr Fisk was commenting on the US plan to rule Iraq if it topples Saddam Hussein, as revealed in the New York Times.

In a public lecture on War and Peace at UCC, Mr Fisk said the report also revealed the US is planning to set up a war crimes tribunal to deal with Iraqi leaders.
