US walks out of UN debate

The US delegation has walked out of the United Nations as Iraq condemns US
aggression.
John Negroponte, the US ambassador, left the Security Council chamber while
Mohammed al-Douri, his Iraqi counterpart, was winding up his speech condemning
US aggression against Iraq.
"I did sit through quite a long part of what he had to say, but I had heard enough
after what he had to say and did not hear anything new," Mr Negroponte said.
He said he was fed up with hearing preposterous allegations against the US.
Iraq's UN envoy charged that the United States and its allies were beginning a
"war of extermination" against the Iraqi people, and had arranged for contracts to
rebuild Iraq in 1997, six years before the war began.
