World's biggest Moslem organisation condemns attacks on Iraq

"The OIC condemns the bombardements and considers them a violation of the resolutions and principles of international legitimacy and international law", the Jeddah-based OIC said in a statement received by Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa in Dubai.

The statement quoted the OIC Secretary General Abdelwahed Belkeziz as calling on OIC member states "to initiate contacts with the United States and England with a view to taking all the necessary steps to guarantee the respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq and to put an end to the use of force and to all actions undertaken outside the framework of the (United Nations) Security Council".

The U.S.-British raids in outskirts of Baghdad last Friday left two people death and more than 20 injured, according to Iraq.
