As it was stated in the April 4 statement by the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the bombings are part of a ploy by the Iranian regime to compensate for the defeat it endured in the Iraqi elections and to neutralize the victory of the nationalist and democratic alternative and to expand its ominous rule in Iraq. The clerical regime plans to obstruct the Iraqi people’s resolve to form a nationalist and non-sectarian government in their country and therefore prevent its eviction from that country.
Two weeks ago, Maliki threatened that “violence will return to Iraq,” when he failed to win the elections despite all fraud.
Al-Jazeera Television quoted its reporter in Baghdad questioning, “How the attackers managed to reach their targets while surrounded with unprecedented security measures? Security organs recalled Nouri al-Maliki’s warnings in lieu of criticism of their performance saying that violence will return to Iraq if the electoral commission failed to respond positively to his request for a hand re-count of votes. They believe that any party, even if it had the possibility of maneuvering and the ability to take advantage of the security gaps, cannot carry out such operations unless it receives logistical support from within the security organs and their commanders.”
Dr. Ayad Allawi, former Iraqi Prime Minister and leader of Al-Iraqiya bloc held the government and the security agencies responsible for security of citizens. He said, “The post of premiership cannot be assumed built on top of mutilated bodies of Iraqi people.” (Al-Sharqiya TV, April 6)
In the meantime, the Al-Sharqiya TV reported: “The Sadr movement has indirectly accused highly placed people within the Iraqi government of perpetrating series of bloody bombings in a bid to upset the state of security in order to put pressure to attain key posts. Qossey Abdulwahab, deputy head of the political office of Sadr movement said, ‘it is obvious that the tension caused these days aimed at putting pressure on politicians in order to agree with some of the demands and back down from some of the conditions and it is to secure attaining the key posts’.”
In a statement on December 8, 2009, the NCRI exposed the perpetrators of the bombings in Iraq and said that according to credible documents and intelligence from within the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Corps and the terrorist Quds Force, the regime is the main culprit in Iraq’s bombings, but, the Nouri al-Maliki’s government is trying to cover up the role of the regime and divert attentions from the main source of terrorism and insecurity in Iraq. The statement added that Baghdad’s security and the relevant organs are directly administered by al-Maliki and the Interior and Defense ministers are not involved at all.
While expressing condolences to the bereaved families and wishing rapid recovery for the wounded, the Iranian Resistance calls for an international probe into horrendous Baghdad bombings. Any impartial investigation would unveil the role of the Iranian regime and its agents in these crimes.
