Iraq's National Assembly (parliament) has sent letters to its Arab counterparts on the US threats against Iraq, the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) reportedon Friday.

In the letters, "the National Assembly called on the Arab parliaments to hold an emergency session for the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union to discuss the US threats against Iraq as soon as possible," the INA said.

The move followed a special meeting of the Iraqi parliament on July 15 when the Iraqi members of parliaments blasted the US threats against Iraq and voiced their full support for President Saddam Hussein.

National Assembly Speaker Saadoun Hamadi, who presided over the meeting, slammed the "aggressive" US policy and "hostile" campaign against Iraq and said that the parliament was fully behind the leadership of Saddam.

US President George W. Bush, who branded Iraq as part of an "axis of evil," has vowed to topple Saddam by using all the possibletools he has.

Iraq has remained adamant in the face of US threats.
