Iraq, Politics, 8/13/2002

A source in the Iraqi opposition said that the Dutch capital Amsterdam is the place nominated for convening the plenary conference due to be shortly held for the representatives of the Iraqi opposition with the aim to elect an executive committee to be a sort of a parliament in exile, noting that the Dutch authorities do not oppose convening the conference on its territories.

The source which asked to be anonymous said that Amsterdam has been unanimously approved by the opposition forces concerned, expecting that invitations will be sent very soon to 75 representatives from opposition trends to attend the conference.
