Description | CAIRO (AFP) - Arab League chief Amr Mussa warned that the "gates of hell" had been opened in Iraq, as ministers gathered for a meeting set to be dominated by the war-ravaged country and an ongoing crisis over Syria's role in Lebanon.
The session opened as at least 60 people were killed in two deadly attacks by suspected Sunni Arab insurgents in and around Baghdad.
"The gates of hell are open in Iraq," Mussa said in his opening speech, voicing hope that Arab foreign ministers could "help Iraq through this crisis, reestablish sovereignty throughout the country and end the American occupation."
His comments echoed a declaration by French President Jacques Chirac, one of the most vocal opponents to the US-led war in Iraq, who compared the situation there to a Pandora's box. |
