"Any actions that violate Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which must be respected according to UN resolutions, are not to be allowed," the foreign ministry said in a statement issued late Friday. "Our efforts should rather be concentrated on quickly restoring Iraq's cooperation with the UN inspectors, so that the Iraq issue could be resolved," the statement continued. US and British forces have recently stepped up their air attacks in the no-fly zones that cover large swaths of northern and southern Iraq. The zones were imposed by western powers after the 1991 Gulf War to contain Iraq militarily and help protect minority Kurd and Shiite populations from reprisals by Saddam's forces. Baghdad does not recognize the air exclusion zones, which are not sanctioned by any UN resolution. Iraq said on Friday that its ground defenses fired on US and British warplanes raiding the south of the country, forcing them to "flee" to their bases in Kuwait. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
