Iraqi FM pledges his country's honor to accord with UN

Iraqi Foreign Minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahaf on Friday stressed his country's respect for its obligation to permit UN weapons inspectors into all sites.

In a statement to the AFP, al-Sahaf called upon the US not to violate the accord Iraq recently signed with UN chief Kofi Annan. He said his country does not own weapons of mass destruction, for which the UN inspectors search, and said inspection results will permit lifting of the sanctions against Iraq.
