Indonesians rally against possible war on Iraq

uploaded 25 Jan 2003

JAKARTA: About 100 Indonesian Muslims rallied today outside the embassies of the United States and Middle Eastern countries to protest any war with Iraq.

Protesters from the Hizbut Tahrir (Party of Liberation) Islamic organisation hoisted banners condemning US plans for military action against Iraq, which it accuses of developing weapons of mass destruction.

"We condemn any attack by America on Iraq. War against a Muslim country is equal to war against the whole Muslim world," party spokesman Muhammad Ismail Yusanto said.

Protesters earlier today rallied outside the Iranian embassy to ask Tehran to oppose any attack, continuing on to the US embassy before heading on to the missions of Yemen, Libya and Kuwait.

"We will call on those Arab countries not to support a US war on Iraq. It is only possible for the US to attack Iraq if those countries provide facilities," Yusanto said.

He said the group would stage another rally at the Saudi Arabian embassy tomorrow. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, has said it considers any unilateral action against Iraq unacceptable, though it supports the presence of UN weapons inspectors in Iraq.
