"Here we go again............" Iraq may lay claim to Jordan, Kuwait in future Sat Feb 21, 8:44 AM ET ! BAGHDAD (AFP) - The president of the Iraqi interim Governing Council said that Baghdad could consider territorial claims over neighbouring Jordan and Kuwait in the future. "We need our Arab brothers around us. Now, we cannot discuss this matter with them at all, but in the future, we'll see," said Mohsen Abdel Hamid, in response to a question from a Baghdad consultative council member. Consultative council member Shaza Hadi al-Obeidi had asked Hamid about the status of territory, once part of Iraq (news - web sites), such as Jordan and Kuwait at an extraordinary meeting of the 37-member consultative council. The session was also attended by three representatives of the US-led coalition and journalists. Members of the council, which reflects Baghdad's majority Shiite Muslim population, were elected by district committees across the capital on July 1. Iraq invaded Kuwait under Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in 1990 and annexed the oil-rich Gulf kingdom as a 19th Iraqi province, before his troops beat a hasty retreat seven months later in the US-led 1991 Gulf war. During British rule after the First World War, two branches of the Hashemite royal family had governed Iraq and Jordan.
