Arab League chief Amr Moussa to quit post: report

CAIRO | Fri Feb 11, 2011

(Reuters) - Arab League secretary-general, Amr Moussa, said on Friday he would leave the pan-Arab body that he headed for about 10 years "within weeks," Egypt's state news agency reported.

Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister who has often won Arab public support for his outspoken comments, has been tipped by some as a possible future presidential candidate in Egypt. He has tended to sidestep questions about his ambitions.
