Iran warns against continuing US military action during Ramadan
Iran's Foreign Minister, Kamal Kharazi, has warned that terror suspect Osama bin Laden will gain more public support if the US continues its bombardment of Afghanistan during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, which starts mid-November.
.
Speaking in Jakarta after talks with his Indonesian counterpart, Mr Kharazi said it was "the demand of the Islamic world" that the military operation stop before Ramadan.
Mr Kharazi met Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda and the chairman of the national assembly, Amien Rais, to discuss what Islamic countries could do to combat terrorism outside of military action.
The Iranian minister said Tehran considers the attacks on Afghanistan "unacceptable" and wants terrorism dealt with internationally under United Nations auspices.
