WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell is considering ways to bring more allies — including Iraq war opponents France and Germany — into the U.S.-dominated force now securing Iraq. One option is a U.N. Security Council resolution.

Powell was going to New York on Thursday to continue discussions with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday.

Among the foreign ministers contacted by Powell this week were Jack Straw of Britain, Dominique de Villepin of France, Joschka Fischer of Germany and Franco Frattini of Italy.

A new resolution was one possibility, and Powell discussed that prospect with Annan and the foreign ministers, said the senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
