Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa called on Saturday for regional and international help to Iraq. In remarks at the U.S.-backed Iraq's national reconciliation conference which opened this morning in the Egyptian capital, Moussa said "Protecting Iraq against the danger of slipping toward sedition or civil infighting is in the best interest of the Arabs ... . It's also a Turkish, Iranian and international interest," he said. "No one will gain anything by transforming Iraq into a battleground for regional and international conflicts and tensions," he said. "This will not happen without everyone's help to Iraq until it regains its freedom, independence and its full sovereignty on its land and resources and so that the political process can widen to embrace the demands of everyone and win their confidence," Moussa added. --MORE 1453 Local Time 1153 GMT
