Sadr: US involved in recent terror
Iraq's Sadr movement says US forces have been involved in the Friday assassination of a top Sadrist in the holy Iraqi city of Najaf.
| "The criminal acts of occupying forces in (Baghdad's) Sadr city and other places clearly indicate that they are ordering terror and massacre," said Rasem al-Marvani who is a cultural advisor to al-Sadr. |
Unidentified gunmen shot dead Riyad al-Nuri, director of the Sadr movement's office in Najaf and the Brother-in-law of anti-US Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, in the holy city of Najaf. "The criminal acts of occupying forces in (Baghdad's) Sadr city and other places clearly indicate that they are ordering terror and massacre," said Rasem al-Marvani who is a cultural advisor to al-Sadr in an interview with Iran's al-Alam Arabic news network. Marvani added that al-Sadr's statement after the assassination also held the occupation forces responsible for the incident.
Certain parties in Iraq are deliberately causing tension in the country in order to justify the continued presence of occupiers, the official said. He also criticized Iraq's security authorities for failing to prevent the assassination, saying the Iraqi government and religious authorities must find a solution to resolve the current crisis.
