KARACHI, April 5: Visiting Iraqi scholar Sayed Ammar al-Hakim on Wednesday alleged that some foreign countries were involved in instigating violence in Iraq. Addressing a news conference here, the elder son of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, President of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq and United Islamic Parties, which governs Iraq, claimed that these countries were providing political, moral, logistical and financial help to local insurgents to enhance killings aimed at destabilizing the government.
Sayed Ammar, who is also a political advisor of the Iraqi government, suggested that a ‘strategic regional partnership’ was vital for bringing peace and development not only to Baghdad but the whole region because an ‘internal solution’ was not possible.
He said ‘terrorists’ have no specific target but their sole purpose was to spread anarchy and undermine the present system there. He claimed there was no sectarian violence in Baghdad.
He added Iraqis would not accept a US attack on Iran because it would affect the whole region negatively, especially Iraq.
