Iraqi Interior Minister declares Iraq is in Civil War
A SENIOR official in the Iraqi Government has for the first time admitted the country is in a state of civil war. Deputy interior minister Hussein Ali Kamal told the BBC's Arabic service:
"Actually, Iraq has been in an undeclared civil war for the past 12 months. On a daily basis, Shi'ites, 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. Civil war is happening, but not on a wide scale." —April 10, 2006
