Attack on Saddam perilous due to tension in Middle East, says EU

EU foreign ministers have warned the US against taking military action to topple Saddam Hussain.

It was claimed the conflict between Israel and Palestine must be eased substantially before action could be considered against Iraq.

At a weekend meeting in Elinsore, Denmark, the ministers papered over the cracks in their differing views of Washington’s threats of a military strike against Iraq.
