The Iraqi mission in Malaysia is operating as usual, an embassy official said today, despite the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime as US troops swept through central Baghdad.
"We are functioning as normal. We have not heard of anything otherwise (from Baghdad)," Raad Al-Mudars, an embassy official told AFP.
Asked whether the mission still pledged allegiance to Saddam Hussein's government, he said: "We are loyal to Iraq."
The Malaysian government refused a US request to close the Iraqi embassy here ahead of the outbreak of war.
The authority of Saddam's regime crumbled yesterday after 21 days of a US-led invasion. AFP
