Brussels - French President Jacques Chirac said Friday that the United States and Britain had breached international law by declaring war on Iraq without a UN mandate.

The two countries had "breached international legality", Chirac said at the end of an EU summit overshadowed by the Iraq crisis, which has sparked unprecedented rifts in the 15-member bloc.
