US war brought terrorism to Iraq Says UN envoy
AFP, Vienna
The US-led invasion brought terrorism to Iraq and caused more problems than it solved, UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said in an interview published yesterday by the Austrian daily Salzburger Nachrichten. He also said he believed that Iraq could become a normal country that but the interim government faced a challenge in proving that it was not "a puppet of the Americans, which is difficult to do when there are 150,000 foreign soldiers in the country." Brahimi, who was visiting Austria at the invitation of Foreign Minister Benita Ferrero-Waldner, said "the war in Iraq was useless, it caused more problems than it solved, and it brought in terrorism."
