U.S. threat to strike Iraq is act of terrorism: Iraqi envoy

TOKYO, Sept. 28 Kyodo - Qasim Shakir, charge d'affaires ad interim at the Iraqi Embassy in Japan, speaks during a recent interview with Kyodo News. He said a U.N. resolution planned by the U.S. with an ultimatum on Iraq's weapons disarmament is unnecessary, and that the U.S. insistence of a possible attack despite Iraq's agreement to accept U.N. inspections is an act of terrorism.
