British envoy, SAIRI chairman meet in Tehran
IRNA -- British envoy to Tehran Richard John Dalton and Chairman of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI) Seyed Mohammad Baqer Hakim discussed the situation in Iraq on Wednesday. Yet another Hakim. SAIRI is the Hakim family business... The media department of the SAIRI said in a fax to IRNA that the two sides traded ideas on the developments taking shape in Iraq including in the holy city of Najaf. They also reviewed the status of the religious leaders in the post-war era. Hakim stressed the need for further attention to the situation in Iraq and warned against any action that could worsen it. He said the Iraqi people should get in their hands the fate of their country. So they can turn it over to holy men for safe-keeping. Holy men like, for instance, the Hakims... He commented on the Nassiriya summit and said the SAIRI would not take part in a summit that is held by Americans. "They're ucky, y'know..." He touched on the positions of Iraqi opposition and said they hold a common viewpoints on the future of their country and hence any decisions or action should be in line with their stand, as previously announced in London conference.
