Mirror: Attack On The UN -Iraqi Chaos 'Is America's Fault'

Iraq is in chaos as America's plans to rebuild the country fail, it was claimed last night.

Former US Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin spoke out after suicide bombers killed at least 24 people at the UN headquarters in Baghdad.

He said the Bush administration had "dropped the ball massively" since ousting Saddam Hussein and allowed terrorist groups to operate.

The plan to return the country to the Iraqi people had failed "spectacularly", leading to a collapse in law and order.

He added: "The real problem is chaos - the chaos that has allowed terrorist organisations and others to come into Iraq where, let's remember, they weren't before."

The bombers drove a concrete lorry packed full of explosives into the Canal Hotel, the UN base.

The front of the three-storey building collapsed, leaving more than 100 injured and dozens trapped.
