United Nations General Secretary, Kofi Annan, has announced today that the UN will, in fact, be sending a team to Iraq to assess the possibility of elections in the war torn country. Annan made the announcement from Paris.
He said: "The mission will ascertain the views of a broad spectrum of Iraqi society in the search for alternatives that might be developed to move forward to the formation of a provisional government."
According to a previous UN statement, the US coalition and the US chosen Iraqi Governing Council had asked the UN to intervene in the country, as disputes erupted over the upcoming elections.
