Mottaki: u.s. bears responsibility for extremists
 Iran's foreign minister denounced the United States Friday for creating terror groups like Al-Qaeda and reaffirmed Tehran's support for a united Iraq following escalating violence there between Shiites and Sunnis. Manouchehr Mottaki, reacting to Wednesday's bombing of a key Shiite mosque in the Iraqi city of Samarra, said "some hands" were working to stoke ethnic and religious unrest "not only in Iraq but in the Islamic world.""We believe that there are some hands working to create ethnic war, religious war, between Shiite, Sunnis or any other groups," he said without naming any specific groups or countries. Mottaki condemned the surge in sectarian killings in Iraq where at least 140 people have been killed in recent riots sparked by the bombing of the mosque. Posted by: Fred 2006-02-26 |
