Jordan's King Abdullah II warned Saturday that a US military strike on Iraq could weaken international efforts to fight terrorism worldwide.  

 

In an interview with AFP, one day before the arrival of the French president to Amman, the Jordanian monarch noted France could play a key role in a settlement of the Middle East and Iraq crises.  

 

"We fear that opening a new battlefront in the Middle East will contribute to complicating the situation and perhaps will weaken international efforts to combat terrorism, as President Chirac said last week," Abdullah said. (Albawaba.com)
