DescriptionPakistani President Pervez Musharraf Tuesday suggested that a Muslim peacekeeping force could be sent to war-torn Iraq under the United Nations.

Musharraf made the suggestion as foreign ministers from Islamic nations gathered in Pakistan's capital for a conference discussing ways of combating alleged "Islamophobia."

"If all the warring factions... different factions, if they accept, then maybe a Muslim peacekeeping force under the United Nations umbrella could be looked at," Musharraf told the conference.

"We have to stop all outside interference in Iraq, the mass killings... the carnage that is taking place there has to stop."
