The Iraqi media giant and Mujtahid, Sayed Ammar Al-Hakim has said that terrorism in Iraq was continued on the back of foreign support and added that 'terrorists' had no specific target or enmity but their sole purpose was to spread anarchy and undermine the present system.
Certain foreign countries were allegedly involved in instigating violence in Iraq by providing political, moral, logistic and financial help to local insurgents to enhance killings aimed at destabilising the government, said Sayed Ammar Al-Hakim son of Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim, President Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq and United Islamic Parties, which governs Iraq.
Addressing a press conference at 'State Guest House' here, Sayed Ammar, a Mujtahid and political advisor of the Iraqi govt claimed that there was no sectarian violence in Baghdad.
He suggested 'strategic regional partnership' was vital for bringing peace and development not only in Baghdad but whole region because 'internal solution' was not possible.
Sayed Ammar said Iraqi people would not allow fragmentation of Iraq at all. He added Iraqi people would not accept USA's attack on Iraq because it would bring negative impacts for the whole region specially Iraq. He said it was wrong that Iran was involved in assassination of his uncle Ayatullah Baqirul Hakim, who was killed in suicide attack near shrine of Hazrat Ali(RA) in Nejaf recently. He pointed out Zarcavi had claimed responsibility for the killing.
He said the Iraqi govt has started programme of strengthening capacity of local security forces. He said when local army and police would become capable of dealing with the security situation, then there would be no need of foreign forces.
He criticised certain foreign religious leaders who tend to issue Fatwa (decree) dubbing others non-believers. He said Shia or Sunni scholars in Iraq had never indulged themselves in this odd practice. He said certain 'terrorists' claimed they represented certain sect but 'we do believe that even killer of Ahl-e-Sunnat doesn't belong to Islam.'
