Iraq is due to dispatch envoys to European capitals, including Paris and Berlin, to explain its stance against US plots to overthrow the regime, Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said. 

 

"Iraq is going to send emissaries to several European countries, including France and Germany, to explain the scale of American threats against the Iraqi people and the dangers they pose to world peace and security," Ramadan told the official Iraq News Agency (INA) Sunday. 

 

He added French and German opposition to US schemes to strike Iraq without seeking a new UN mandate "mean that European countries are aware of the dangers of the US policy of hegemony which targets the whole word without exception". 

 

"The European position hostile to the arrogant and aggressive policy of the US administration against Iraq is growing noticeably," Ramadan added. (Albawaba.com)
