Iraqis stage protest against Ahmadinejad

NCRI – A group of Iraqis on Friday protested in Baghdad against the upcoming visit to Iraq by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian regime’s president.

The protesters for two consecutive days in the Iraqi capital handed out pamphlets which read "Iraq is not for sale." They called on the Multi-National Force-Iraq to stop Ahmadinejad’s visit to that country.

Similar protest was held on Thursday in central city of Baquba.  “No, no to the Iranian regime,” read a banner carried by protesters.
 
They said Iranian regime and its president were interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq, supporting al-Qaeda, promoting religious hatred and inciting sectarian violence.

On Wednesday, Mr. Mohammed Abdullah Shahwani, Baghdad’s intelligence chief  in a statement said that Iranian secret service agents are working to "sabotage" the operations of groups fighting Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Al-Hurra TV reported that Mr. Shahwani asked the Iraqi Security systems to prosecute Iranian regime’s mercenaries in Iraq.
