BRUSSELS, Sha'ban 14, 1435, Jun 12, 2014, SPA -- Top officials of NATO and Britain say they have no plans to get involved militarily in Iraq after Sunni Muslim militants overran much of the north and were pressing toward Baghdad. During a visit to Madrid on Thursday, NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance had neither a mandate nor a request for action, adding: "I don't see a role for NATO in Iraq." According to AP, British Foreign Secretary William Hague ruled out any military intervention by his country, but said it might provide humanitarian aid. In a BBC interview, he said it was up to Iraq's leadership to deal with the deteriorating military situation. --SPA 19:08 LOCAL TIME 16:08 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
