RIYADH, 5 February 2003 — Saudi Arabia, which opposes a US-led war against Iraq, said yesterday that a balanced approach to the Middle East conflict would better serve Washington’s campaign against terror than an attack on Baghdad.
Addressing the armed forces, Prince Sultan, second deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, also said: “The breach to the US might by the Sept. 11 attacks cannot be repaired through war but through positive and even-handed actions that guarantee human rights and which eliminate terrorism and its causes.”
“All that we ask from the big powers, particularly the United States, is for them to be even-handed in their actions,” he said in the speech carried by the Saudi Press Agency.
