Maliki, Iraq’s PM or Iran’s?

August 11, 2007

The director of Iraqi News Agency Sarmad Abdul Karim said in an interview with Iraqi Salahuddin TV on Thursday, August 9, said: “Maliki’s comments against the Iranian Mojahedin (PMOI/MEK) just before his trip to Tehran is a gift for Iran.

Mr. Sarmad added: "Maliki had said the presence of the PMOI in Iraq is detrimental to Iran’s security.”

Director of Iraqi News Agency said: "He has said this about an organization which is a democratic and peace-loving, and during its decades of presence in Iraq has never done anything wrong against any Iraqi. One who says so is the Iraq’s prime minister or Iran’s?"

Mr. Sarmad said: “Iranian regime is involved in killings and murders in Iraq, and by now, has murdered thousands of scientists, high ranking military officers and former Iraqi pilots".
