CRISIS IN IRAQ - RADIO AUSTRALIA DELIVERS ASIA-PACIFIC PERSPECTIVE

Many Asia-Pacific nations are closely watching the crisis unfolding in 
Iraq. Who
are the region's key players and what is their role? What will war in Iraq mean
for Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Australia and the rest of the Asia-Pacific
region, and will it promote Islamic extremism in Southeast Asia?

A new website launched by ABC Radio Australia today provides the answers, with
detailed background, analysis and breaking news on the current situation in 
Iraq
and its impact on the people, politics and economies of our region.

Log on to IRAQ: OUR REGION REACTS at abc.net.au/asiapacific (select Iraq under
'special coverage') to access:
* the latest breaking news about the Iraq crisis
