Iraq complains of war 'pretexts' in UN resolution
In a long, stern letter to the United Nations, Iraq’s foreign minister complains that the new Security Council resolution on weapons inspections provides a pretext for the United States to wage war against his country.
“There is premeditation to target Iraq, whatever the pretext,” Foreign Minister Naji Sabri wrote to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in a letter dated Saturday and released Sunday.
