WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday voiced concern over an arrest warrant issued by Iraqi authorities for the country's Sunni Muslim Vice-President Tareq al-Hashemi and urged that the probe be conducted according to law.

"We're obviously concerned about this," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters, noting that US officials had been in contact with Iraqi leaders amid concern that the action fuels sectarian tensions now that US troops have withdrawn.

"We urge the Iraqi authorities charged with this responsibility to conduct their investigations into alleged terrorist activities in accordance with international legal norms and full respect for Iraqi law," he said.
