Saudi Foreign Minister: Kingdom Will Not Allow Use of Its Territory to Attack Iraq
Monday, November 04, 2002

CAIRO, Egypt — Saudi Arabia will not allow bases on its soil to be used for an attack on Iraq even if the United Nations authorizes military action, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said in an interview broadcast Sunday. Saudi Arabia earlier ruled out the use of its territory for unilateral U.S. action against Iraq, but had indicated it would cooperate in some way if the U.N. Security Council approved. In the interview, however, Saud said more clearly that Saudi cooperation would not include permitting use of its territory for strikes against Iraq. "We will cooperate with the Security Council, but as to entering the conflict or using the facilities as part of the conflict, that is something else," Saud said. Pressed about whether Saudi bases could be used, he gave a definite "no." In Washington, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer refused to comment on the interview.
