I am deeply saddened by reports of a bomb at a United States-Iraqi facility near Mosul in Iraq. I understand that there are numerous casualties, although the situation is still developing. Such attacks not only identify the threat to our troops and those of the coalition but highlight the barbarism of terrorists who go to sickening lengths to prevent the progress of democracy and security in Iraq. We will not be cowed by the actions of the minority, nor will our troops. We will not leave under such threats, and we will stay in Iraq as long as the Iraqis need us. We will take all necessary measures to protect our own troops.

First, on the question on the situation in Iraq, it was not I who denied that there was a civil war in Iraq but everyone to whom I spoke, including President Talabani, Prime Minister Ja'afari, the Foreign Minister, Defence Minister Delami, Al-Hakim, the head of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, Tariq Al-Hashimi, the leader of the Sunni Iraqi Islamic party and, indeed, Ayad Allawi himself in private on the very day that he said something different in public. I have only conveyed the position presented to me by politicians from a range of backgrounds. Nevertheless, the point is not to argue about the definition of a conflict but to accept that as a result of deliberate provocation and the terrorists' intentional aim to provoke a civil war that is neither imminent nor inevitable there has been an increase in sectarian killings leading to a situation that no one can regard with complacency. In that situation, as regards British troops and the area under our control, less than 3 per cent. of the terrorist attacks are carried out in our four provinces. Indeed, 14 out of the 18 provinces of Iraq are relatively unscathed by terrorist attacks. That is not to diminish the significance of the four areas where there are such difficult attacks. Today, again, we have seen some of the horrendous consequences of that. Finally, rather than be divided by the provocation of sectarian violence, the best thing the Iraqi politicians could do is what they are doing: come together in unity to form a Government of national unity. That should give heart to us all.

On the first point, I can do no better than repeat what I have said before about the linkage of the bombs that have in recent times been discovered in the south of Iraq. We believe that they are linked through Hezbollah to Iranian influence, though we have no concrete evidence that they are linked to the Iranian Government. The Iranian Government deny such linkage and we have made it plain that there should be no role for any country bordering on Iraq other than to support the democratically elected Iraqi Government. On the hon. Gentleman's second point, I can give an assurance, as I have done all along and did again today, that we will hand over to the Iraqis when the conditions on the ground permit. We will not stay one day longer than we are needed and wanted by them, but we will not leave one day too early against their wishes or under threat. The only thing that is achieved by continuing terrorist activities is to delay the day that the multinational forces withdraw, not to expedite it.
