Iraqi accusations against Kuwait

The Iraqi foreign minister Naji sabri said in a message he addressed to the UN secretary general Kofi Annan that the Kuwaiti navy in September carried out five attacks inside the Iraqi territorial waters against Iraqi fishing boats and intercepted the Iraqi fishermen and confiscated their personal properties and spoiled their official documents.

The Iraqi minister added that the Kuwaiti attacks are to be added to the other practices conducted by the Kuwaiti authorities including Kuwait's participation in the daily attacks carried out by the American and British planes against Iraq from the territory of Kuwait as well as supporting and financing terrorist groups with the aim of destabilizing Iraq.

He called on the UN to shoulder its responsibility and to interfere with the Kuwaiti authorities to prevent these acts as well as to hold Kuwait responsible for them.
