Tehran, March 27, IRNA -- The Supreme Assembly of Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI) in a statement issued here on Thursday warned against consequences of the attack on the Shiite holy shrines in Iraq. The statement, a copy of which was faxed to IRNA, said that the intensive fighting around the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala has made the people of Iraq and all Muslims throughout the globe concerned over the possible attack on the holy sites in those two cities. The Baghdad regime, during suppression of the public Intifada of the Iraqi Shiites in 1991, invaded the holy sites in several Iraqi cities. The statement warned both the US forces and the Iraqi regime against insulting the Islamic values and feelings of millions of Muslims of the world.
I notice that SAIRI is back to releasing its statements from Teheran, rather than from Iraq. Safer there, isn't it? For the moment, anyway... |
