Arab League ministers draft anti-war resolution
Arab foreign ministers have discussed a strongly-worded draft resolution opposing
the invasion of Iraq and calling for an immediate withdrawal of US and British forces.

The draft, circulated by the Arab League secretariat, "considers the US-British attack
on Iraq as an armed aggression that aims at occupying a member state of the Arab
League and the United Nations, in violation of international law and the UN charter".

It calls for "an immediate withdrawal of US-British forces aggressing Iraq".

Diplomatic sources say it is highly unlikely that Washington's Arab allies, in particular
Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, who are being used as launch pads for the invasion, will
agree on the text.

At least seven foreign ministers, including Iraq's Naji Sabri, are attending the
meeting of the 22-member Arab League, the first Arab gathering since the war began
last Thursday.
