Damascus: Iraq's Foreign Minister Naji Sabri called on Arab governments
to "confront" the US-led war, which he said threatened all Arab countries, as he
arrived in the Syrian capital early on March 23.
"We hope that our Arab brethren will defend themselves and stand against the Zionist-
American-British aggression which is targeted at all Arab countries to turn them
into weak statelets ruled by (Israeli Prime Minister) Sharon," said Sabri, the first
Iraqi government official to leave Iraq since the start of the US-led attack on
March 20.
