Egypt on Saturday reaffirmed its rejection to any possible attack against Iraq. "Arab position on the matter is clear, and Egypt has taken the lead in terms of rejecting any such move," Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher told reporters.

The United States has accused Iraq of developing weapons of massdestruction to pose a threat to security of its neighboring countries, which has been denied by Iraq.

US President George W. Bush has recently insisted that he will use all tools at his disposal to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

However, Bush said on Friday he has no timetable for making a decision on whether to carry out a military strike to topple Hussein, and it might not come to a decision this year.

Arab countries and some European allies of the United States have warned of severe consequences in the Mideast region and the world at large if the United States attacks Iraq.
