US won't strike Arab states - Mubarak

Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has said he doubts the United States will launch strikes against Arab states accused of harbouring terrorists or use ground forces in Afghanistan.

In a wide-ranging interview with Israel’s state-run television, Mubarak made no attempt to hide his dislike for Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, accusing him of bad faith in his dealings with both Egypt and the Palestinians.
