latest results: Iraq 'is in state of civil war' (Filed: 08/04/2006) A senior official in the Iraqi government has for the first time admitted the country is in a state of civil war. Iraq factfile Hussein Ali Kamal, the deputy interior minister, said Iraq had been in "undeclared" civil war for the past year. He told the BBC's Arabic service: "Actually Iraq has been in an undeclared civil war for the past 12 months. "On a daily basis Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians are being killed and the only undeclared thing is that a civil war has not been officially announced by the parties involved. telegraph.co.uk "Civil war is happening but not on a wide scale." Mr Kamal's words came as a car bomb killed at least six Shia pilgrims south of Baghdad. His admission mirrors the words of Iyad Allawi, the former Iraqi prime minister, who last month said Iraq was in civil war. Mr Allawi warned that the violence was reaching the point of no return and Europe and America would not be spared the consequences. British ministers have repeatedly denied civil war is either imminent or inevitable. John Reid, the Defence Secretary, recently suggested those who argued that Iraq was on the brink of civil war were siding with the terrorists.
