U N Secretary General Pushes for Role in Iraq as U S Draft Faces Hurdles
Annan warns he cannot accept a draft unless the United Nations has an indispensable role in Iraq. He cites security concerns after two U N bombings in Baghdad that killed 23 and injured over 150, with most international staff withdrawn. Powell pledged U S support for UN involvement, but some diplomats doubt a faster handover and warn the U N draft lacks enough votes. France and Germany may abstain to avoid a rift, while other nonpermanent members criticize the plan.
