Iraq has become a battleground for al-Qaida
Stop the War Press Release
For Immediate release
While Tony Blair suns himself on a beach in Barbados Iraq is in flames. Eighteen months after the end of the war hundreds of Iraqis are being killed every week.
Now the foreign affairs select committee reports that ‘Iraq has become a battleground for al-Qaida’.
The foreign affairs committee calls for other NATO countries to send more troops to Iraq - ignoring the fact that not only was the war illegal but that the occupation itself is the source of the continued instability in Iraq.
Stop the War convenor Lindsey German said ‘there can be no peace while British and American troops remain in Iraq and this report only confirms the warnings made by the anti-war movement.’
