US to Seek more UN Support in Iraq: Official

The United States decided Tuesday to seek a new United Nations Security Council resolution so as to enlist more international support for the stabilizing efforts in Iraq, a senior US official said.

The decision was made by President George W. Bush after a White House meeting with Secretary of State Colin Powell, the official said on the condition of anonymity.

"We should be in a position to talk to other governments within days," the official was quoted as saying by agencies reports.

"Secretary Powell is going to working with our colleagues on the Security Council to talk about language that can bring the maximum international resources to bear on the issues in Iraq," headded.

The official said the proposed resolution will define further "the vital role" the United Nations can play, how both the US-led coalition and the world body can support the Iraqi political process, and how others can make military contributions.

Many countries, including France, Russia and India, have refused to commit troops to the stabilizing efforts in Iraq under the current UN mandate.
