| Belgium to cut off facilities to US |
| 2003-03-17 |
| Nato member Belgium threatened on Sunday to cut off its airspace and the port of Antwerp to the US military if the United States invades Iraq in violation of international law. The United States has been using Antwerp and the Dutch port of Rotterdam to ship equipment from Germany to the Middle East for possible use in a war against Iraq. Belgium says military action without a second resolution would be unlawful."We would halt the transit if the US were to engage in a move which is outside the rules of international law," Defence Minister Andre Flahaut said on Belgium's RTL television. "I can tell you that I have already alerted the United States (of this)." In an earlier interview with RTBF television he said Belgium would also cut off its airspace, adding "the overflight is part of the same context". Thanks for your support. Let us know if you need anything. |
