FORMER Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has called for Western leaders, including former prime minister John Howard, to be charged with war crimes over Iraq.

In a speech at Imperial College in London overnight, Mr Mahathir called for an international tribunal to try US President George W. Bush, Mr Howard and former British prime minister Tony Blair for their part in the conflict, said the Ramadhan Foundation, a Muslim group that organised the event.

Spokesman Mohammed Shafiq said Mr Mahathir, who was in office from 1981 to 2003, wanted to see the trio tried "in absence for war crimes committed in Iraq".
