| U.N. urges Iraq to halt slide to civil war |
| 2006-11-26 |
| A U.N. envoy urged Iraq's government on Saturday to halt a slide into civil war and stop the "cancer" of sectarianism from destroying the country, warning that the carnage of this week could tear Iraq apart. As a curfew was extended until Monday, possibly derailing a trip to Iran by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, the U.N. envoy in Baghdad, Ashraf Qazi, said car bombs on Thursday that killed more than 200 Shi'ites and "blind acts of revenge" were "tearing apart the very political and social fabric of Iraq". "No country could tolerate such a cancer in its body politic," Qazi said in a statement. The rest is as pointless as this bit, only moreso. It's Rooters. |
