Iraq attack 'will end in chaos'

A former CIA agent has said that a US invasion of Iraq could cause untold chaos in the Middle East.
Robert Baer, who belonged to the CIA's directorate of operations for more than 20 years, also said the US Government does not have a game plan when it comes to Iraq.

"There is no plan," he told Tim Sebastian in an interview for BBC HARDtalk.

"What terrifies me is that if the US attacks Iraq, destroys Saddam's army - which is what really holds the country together - it's going to break up ethnic and religious groups."

"If you destroy the army, the chances of Iran invading the south are very high."
