US, ‘Israel’ Orchestrating Violent Attacks in Iraq

By Staff, Agencies

Leader of Iraqi resistance movement Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, Sheikh Qais al-Khazali, said the ‘Israeli’ and American spy services are behind violent attacks in Iraq, and they include attacks on protesters and even the US embassy in Baghdad.

Speaking to Al Jazeera TV, Sheikh al-Khazali said the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] of the US and ‘Israeli’ Mossad have formed a joint network that leads violent groups, and uses security companies to kill Iraqi protesters.

“The US seeks to tarnish our image by accusing us of complicity in killing protesters. How on earth can we kill our own people while we have lost our lives in the fight against Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL’ group] because of them,” he asked.

Rather, Sheikh al-Khazali added, it is the groups affiliated with the US that set fire to "our bases and murdered our forces, but we did not take revenge, because those acts were aimed at moving the country toward a civil war and tarnishing the image of Hashd al-Sha'abi.”
