| A Saudi-led Gulf Arab alliance urged Iraq to allow U.N. weapons inspectors back into the country or risk more tension in the Middle East. Jameel al-Hujailan, secretary-general of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), also criticized Baghdad for continuing antagonism toward its pro-Western neighbors Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. "We hope Iraq's obstinacy toward some Security Council resolutions will not lead to more tension in the region and cause more sufferings to the brotherly Iraqi people," he said in a report to a GCC summit. |
