Arab League countries will not send troops to Iraq

The closed-doors meeting of the Arab League follow-up committee was to focus on the situations in Iraq and the Middle East, following preparatory meetings on both.

Mussa told reporters the League had drawn up a draft resolution to press the importance of a united Iraqi political front as the best means to guarantee the country’s return to national sovereignty. The draft also calls on the United Nations to take full responsibility for reconstruction efforts in Iraq, and on the United States to establish a framework to implement the peace roadmap, which paves the way to the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005.
