UN's Annan: terrorism in Iraq worse than Afghanistan

LONDON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq has turned the country into a new hub of terrorism worse than Afghanistan under Taliban, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Monday.

Annan, who has called the 2003 U.S.-British invasion that toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein illegal, told Britain's BBC World Service radio that war there was contributing to Muslim anger throughout the world.

"I think there are many Muslims that are extremely unhappy today. Unhappy because they feel victimised, they feel isolated, they feel victimised in their own society, they feel victimised in the West, and they feel this profiling against them. And the Iraqi situation has not helped matters," he said.

"In fact one used to be worried about Afghanistan being the centre of terrorist activities; my sense is that Iraq has become a major problem and in fact it's worse than Afghanistan."
