Jordan's King Worries About Iraq Elections By CECILE BRISSON, Associated Press Writer PARIS - Extremists will have the upper hand in Iraqi elections if voting is held amid the current violence, Jordan's King Abdullah II said in an interview published Tuesday, voicing profound pessimism at the possibility of the elections being fair. Abdullah, who met with President Jacques Chirac in Paris on Tuesday, told the daily Le Figaro that "it seems impossible to organize indisputable elections in the chaos of Iraq (news - web sites) today," but he noted that Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi is determined to go ahead with the vote, scheduled for late January. "If elections take place in the current disorder, the best organized faction will be the extremists," Le Figaro quoted Abdullah as saying. "The results will reflect this advantage of the extremists. In such a scenario, there will be no chance that the situation gets better." news.yahoo.com
