Muslim Scholar Association Criticises Political Bodies

Association of Muslims Scholars spokesman Abdul Salam al-Kubaisi criticised political organisations that call for the continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq under the guise of building security forces. He said the presence of foreign forces (contributes to) violence. He said the killings and arrests in Haditha, Tal Afar, Basra, Samarra and Najaf are consequences of the presence of foreign forces on Iraqi soil. Kubaisi affirmed that the aggressive acts conducted by US forces will not stop them from resisting American plans and fighting the occupation.
