Amman - The leader of Iraq's delegation to this week's Arab summit arrived in Amman yesterday amid an inter-Arab row over Baghdad's demands for the lifting of UN sanctions and an end to US and British air patrols over Iraq.
Jordan's official news agency, Petra, said Mr Izzat Ibrahim, vice-chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council, had reached Amman and would head the Iraqi summit delegation. The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Mr Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, said earlier that his country wanted the summit, which opens tomorrow, to support its demands for an end to UN sanctions imposed after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
