CAIRO (AFP) - Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa charged in an interview that Washington's refusal to offer a troop withdrawal timetable was threatening the stability of Iraq.
"The United States don't believe this issue to be linked to reconciliation efforts while the Arab League argues that it is key," he told the state-owned Roz al-Yusef daily.
Mussa has recently launched an Arab drive aimed at ironing out differences between Iraq's ethnic and religious communities over the political future of the war-torn country.
"The end of foreign occupation is one of the pre-requisites if we are to witness any progress in our efforts to help Iraq go forward," Mussa said Sunday.
