UNITED NATIONS - The United States gave its official reasons for invading Iraq to the UN Security Council today, saying Baghdad had broken a cease-fire resolution adopted after the 1991 Gulf War.
Britain and Australia, the other two nations in the US-led coalition, wrote similar, shorter, letters to the 15-nation council.
None of the letters mentioned "regime change," an aim of the invasion but never authorised in any Security Council resolution.
It came after Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan maintaining that the US-led attack against his country was a violation of international law.
