Brahimi quits post as UN envoy in Iraq
By Shlomo Shamir
NEW YORK - Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations special envoy to Iraq, announced his resignation from the post at a meeting yesterday of the Security Council and in the presence of Secretary General Kofi Annan.

The resignation, brewing for a number of days, shocked the diplomatic community at the world body.

Brahimi explained that his decision stemmed from great difficulties and frustration experienced during his assignment in Iraq. He said that he does not intend to return to Iraq.

According to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, Brahimi's current assignment in Iraq has been completed.
