Will Syria and Iraq team up? Syrian, Iraqi foreign ministers discuss regional stability By Reuters DAMASCUS - Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq Shara and his Iraqi counterpart Naji Sabri discussed on Sunday Arab cooperation and ways to preserve regional security. The official Syrian Arab News Agency also said the two ministers discussed at talks in Damascus the extension of the oil-for-food deal between Iraq and the United Nations for another six months. It did not give further details on the talks. Arab countries have voiced concerns that the United States might launch attacks against regional states like Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Syria which Washington includes on an official list of states it says sponsor terrorism. Damascus has repeatedly warned against any attack on Iraq as part of the U.S.-led campaign against terrorism following the Septmeber 11 attacks on New York and Washington. The UN Security Council voted unanimously on Thursday in favor of a U.S.-Russian compromise resolution that pledges to revise sanctions against Iraq within six months and extends the existing U.N. oil-for-food program for Baghdad until then. Syria and Iraq, ruled by rival factions of the Socialist Baath Party, have worked in recent years to rehabilitate ties that were effectively severed when Damascus broke ranks and sided with Iran in 1980-1988 war with Baghdad.
