IRAQ: Al-Hakim calls for resisting occupation by negotiations
The chairman of the "Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq" Muhammad Baqr al-Hakim yesterday expressed his rejection to what he called acts of violence against the US-led coalition forces. He said he prefers peaceful means to put an end to occupation. News reports said that by this announcement, al-Hakim has decided the position of the higher council to resort to political resistance. Al-Hakim was quoted saying that those who stand behind these operations which target the occupation forces are the remains of the Baath Party by which they want to bring back the former regime.
