Iraqi Government Should Be Held Responsible For Criminal Acts Of Militias
Politics, Security
(Dar Al Salam Newspaper) - 3 JUL - Accord Front Parliament Member – Mr. Abd Al Karim Al Samaraie said the security forces should be held entirely responsible for failing to stop the militias’ criminal activities. Al Samaraie added, “Terrorist attacks have been occurring, and occur everyday, in Baghdad. Nowadays we are hearing stories that we had never heard before… even during the times of the “Mongol era”.
Al Samaraie clarified: we have evidence that we have seen and heard about that confirms that the Ministry of the Interior’s security forces are involved in the militias’ attacks. The militias are: raiding houses, and killing family members in these houses even if the family members are women, children, or old men. The militias have burnt Iraqis; and, militias have displaced families after killing the families’ sons.
(Al Samaraie continued,) there is an outside (foreign) agenda which aims to reshape Baghdad’s demography. All of these (types of) militia attacks (have continued to) occur while the new security plan is in progress. Al Samaraie pointed out that all of Iraq’s politicians say: the security forces are corrupt and the government should be held responsible. If the government is unable to stop the militias, then it (the govt.) should leave (step down/be replaced) in order for Iraqis to find someone who is capable of: leading them and confronting these problems.
Al Samaraie demanded that the individuals responsible for the Baghdad Security Plan should treat all of the insurgents, in Iraq’s streets, equally and take them to the courts.
