The Saudi ambassador to Britain, Prince Turkey al-Faisal, said that the war launched by the American president George W. Bush against Iraq did not defeat the terrorist threats, rather brought in new threats of that sort. In a press conference at the United Royal services Institute in London yesterday, al-Faisal said “when the US and Britain invaded Iraq, the promise was to bring in peace and security altogether by the American and British forces.” He added “regrettably, this promise was not achieved. Fighting and daily explosions, as well as violence, make even those who believed this first promise doubt it.. Instead of eliminating terrorist threats, which Bush considered to be in Iraq’s Saddam, we find today that Iraq’s Saddam has become an area for attracting terrorists.” Al-Faisal considered that the international community cannot bear continued absence of peace and security in Iraq, noting that his country vowed to provide one billion dollars as contributions to rebuilding Iraq.
