Iraq on verge of civil war - Arab League chief

LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Iraq is on the verge of civil war and there is no clear strategy or leadership to reconcile the different communities, the head of the Arab League said on Saturday.

Speaking to BBC radio, Amr Moussa said the League would work to bring the different groups together.

"The situation is so tense ... a civil war could erupt at any moment, although some people would say it is already there, so we cannot leave Iraq with divisions and disagreement and conflict and shooting," he said.

"There are a lot of individuals ... now playing games with the future of Iraq and there is no clear strategy, there is no clear leadership."
