Three tracks for Egyptian moves to prevent attacks against Iraq

Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher on Monday said that Egypt is exerting much effort to spare Iraq a military strike.

Maher, at a press conference, noted that Egypt is moving on three tracks, the first is working with Iraq since its re-admitting of the international arms inspectors with the aim of refuting any pretext for launching a war.

Secondly, Maher said, Egypt is cooperating with the US and other countries concerned to guarantee an action within the framework of the UN Security Council and in line with international law.

And third,, Egypt is making efforts with the UN and international arms inspectors Egypt is calling upon them to be fair and unbiased while doing their job inside Iraq added Maher.
