Forty-eight Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) members including Iraq held crisis talks here today as US President George W Bush warned o­nly full disarmament could prevent a war o­n Baghdad.

Fifteen heads of government joined the special session called by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad immediately after the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit here, which rejected any war without UN approval.

Qatar, which had previously objected to the informal meeting ahead of an emergency IOC summit in Doha next week, was represented by Prime Minister Abdullah bin Khalifa Al-Thani.

UN Security council members Syria and Pakistan were also present, two days after the United States, Britain and Spain submitted a new resolution o­n Iraq.
