PUTRAJAYA: The Foreign Ministry is not happy with an article in a local daily about the post-war events in Iraq. 

Describing it as “a personal attack beyond professional criticism, independence of the press and the freedom of expression,” Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said: “I think we’re going to respond to that article. It is an attack on the minister as well as the ministry, and showed a lack of understanding on what we have been doing.
