Iraq Has No Links to Anti-US Attacks: Iraqi MinisterVisiting Iraqi Trade Minister Mohammad Mehdi Salah said Saturday that his country "had nothing to do with" Tuesday's anti-US attacks, Egypt's state-run MENA news agency reported."Iraq is under continued destruction by the United States on a daily basis and the size of destruction in Iraq caused by U.S.- British aircraft exceeds that of the U.S. attacks," Salah said after his talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher. "If the United States wants all countries to live in peace, it has to refrain from attacking other countries in the world and to stop its interference in domestic affairs of other countries," the Iraqi minister added. He also slammed Israel for waging an all-out attack on targets in the Palestinian territories, saying that "no one is denouncing such Israeli acts." "The U.S. administration should realize that no single country can control the entire world," Salah said. The talks between Salah and Maher focused on ways to develop trade and economic cooperation between Iraq and Egypt, especially after the signing of a free trade agreement between the two countries. |
