Proceeding contribution from Baroness Amos (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and the Middle East.


Iraq and the Middle East

My Lords, we are aware of reports that Sunni tribes in Iraq have been turning their backs on al-Qaeda and other extremist groups that have been espousing militant ideologies. I agree with my noble friend that this is about ordinary Iraqis making it clear that they do not want to be involved in this kind of violence in their country. Groups such as al-Qaeda have no place in a representative and democratic Iraq. Undermining that democracy is what this level of terrorism is about.
