New Iraqi accusations against Kuwait

Iraq today accused Kuwait of threatening commercial marine movement in the Gulf region as the Kuwaiti coasts police intercepted five commercial ships in the Gulf water suspected to have violated the embargo imposed on Iraq since 1990.

A spokesman for the Iraqi ministry of culture and information said that this " irresponsible behavior " of the Kuwaiti regime stresses once again the aggressive and brutal Kuwaiti attitude against Iraq and unmasks their persistence to inflict more damages on the Iraqi people and to violate international norms and charters.
