Iraq's Maliki says Bahrain may ignite sectarian war
None
Iraq's Shiite prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, said on Friday military intervention by Sunni Arab neighbours in Bahrain could spark a sectarian war in the region and must end.
"The situation in Bahrain is different from those in Libya and Egypt. In Libya and Egypt the issue is not sectarian while in Bahrain it has become between Sunnis and Shi'tes," Maliki told the BBC Arabic television service in an interview aired on Friday. (Reuters)
