BAGHDAD (AP) --
Iraq's prime minister is warning that an outside military strike on
neighboring Syria could have unforeseen consequences, and says United
Nations inspectors should have a chance to report their findings on
allegations of chemical weapons use.
Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in a televised address Wednesday that any
decision to strike before the U.N. investigators release their findings
would be "hasty." He says the world should wait for the results of the
probe before the "party responsible is held accountable."
Al-Maliki
reiterated Iraq's opposition to foreign involvement in the conflict. He
says the backers of a military strike will not be able to control its
effects.
Baghdad is official neutral in
Syria's civil war, but Iraq's Shiite-led government fears it could
suffer if Syria's mainly Sunni rebels are victorious.
