Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino
said on Friday that military strikes being planned against Syria risked
escalating into "a global conflagration."
"From a dramatic and terrible conflict,
we run the risk of even a global conflagration," she said in an
interview with news channel SkyTG24.
"This is how it always begins. Limited
strikes without a UN mandate. Syria will obviously react," said Bonino, a
former European aid commissioner.
"Even though it seems slower, tougher
and sometimes looks like it won't succeed, keeping up diplomatic and
political pressure is the only solution," she said.
Bonino has ruled out any Italian participation in strikes against Syria over the alleged use of chemical weapons.
Italy played a pivotal role as a launch
pad for air strikes on Libya but government sources quoted in Italian
media said it would likely not allow third countries to use its bases if
asked to do so now.
- Earlier this week she warned: "Even the option of a limited intervention risks becoming unlimited."
