U.N. rejects Iraqi response
The Security Council refused Monday to take up Iraq's response to U.N. demands that it allow weapons inspectors back in the country. An Iraqi letter sent Friday to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan included neither an acceptance of the roadmap for the return of the inspectors nor a formal invitation to resume inspections. Instead, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri told Annan that Iraq wants to continue a dialogue with the United Nations on the return of inspectors â but with conditions that Annan already rejected. They figure that as long as they're talking they're not getting attacked. Wonder how that order for more Tomahawks is coming? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-20 |
