AMMAN, Aug. 17 (IPS) - Dr. Oasma Al Baz, political advisor to the
Egyptian president, said Egypt will not allow passage through the Suez
Canal of US ships headed to strike Iraq.

In statements published here Saturday he added Egypt rejects any military
operation against Iraq, its territorial unity, independence and safety of
Iraqi people, adding any military attack on Iraq represents a vary
dangerous step endangering the security of the region.

Dr. Al Baz said the question of UN weapons inspectors is an issue which
concerns the UN and the Security Council and not Washington and the US
has no right to take any military action against Iraq nor has the right
to interfere in the internal affairs of another country and impose a
set-up of new leadership on its people. (QNA)
