Arab League chief Amr Musa rounded off a foreign ministers meeting in Cairo with a warning that a US strike against Iraq would �open the gates of hell� in a region already �angry and frustrated� at Israel's actions against the Palestinians during their nearly two-year conflict.
�We will continue to work to avoid a military confrontation ... because we believe that it will open the gates of hell in the Middle East,� Musa told a news conference after the two-day meeting ended with a statement rejecting �any threat of attack� against Iraq.
