Arab League chief slams killing of civilians in Iraq
The Arab League chief on Sunday slammed battles between US marines and insurgents in which hundreds of Iraqi civilians had died as âunacceptable and extremely seriousâ.
| "Nope. Nope. Can't have any of that." |
âThe meeting condemned the recent attacks that have killed more than 500 Iraqi civilians,â Amr Moussa was quoted as saying by the official MENA news agency, after chairing an Arab League delegatesâ meeting on Iraq. He branded the fighting in the war-torn country, as âunacceptable and extremely serious,â stressing it would entail ânegative repercussionsâ.
| Like piles of dead turbans? |
While Arab governments have shied away from publicly criticising recent US military operations in Iraq, Moussa has stood alone in the world of officialdom by strongly criticising the violence. Although a tentative ceasefire held in Fallujah on Sunday, a week of battles in the town have left more than 400 Iraqis dead and 1,000 wounded, officials with the Iraqi interim Governing Council said.
