The lawmakers of the Islamic Action front were arrested Sunday and charged by the military prosecutor of causing sectarian strife and fueling national discord.
ASSociated Press: Documents: Al-Qaida sought U.S.-Iran war
A blueprint for trying to start a war between the United States and Iran was among a “huge treasure” of documents found in the hideout of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi officials said Thursday.
The document, purporting to reflect al-Qaida policy and its cooperation with groups loyal to ousted President Saddam Hussein, also appear to show that the insurgency in Iraq was weakening.
According to the summary, insurgents were being weakened by operations against them and by their failure to attract recruits. To give new impetus to the insurgency, they would have to change tactics, it added.
“We mean specifically attempting to escalate the tension between America and Iran, and American and the Shiite in Iraq,” it quoted the documents as saying, especially among moderate followers of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most influential Shiite cleric in Iraq.
“Creating disputes between America and them could hinder the U.S. cooperation with them, and subsequently weaken this kind of alliance between Shiites and the Americans,” it said, adding that “the best solution is to get America involved in a war against another country and this would bring benefits.”
They included “opening a new front” for the U.S. military and releasing some of the “pressure exerted on the resistance.”
Condoleezza Rice’s successful Iran negotiating strategy has thwarted this Al Qaeda plot. And if Iran possessed nuclear weapons?
Look for the United States to pursue diplomacy and United Nations sanctions with Iran while the USA settles the Iraq War.
However, the United States will continue to press for the immediate suspension of Iran’s program of uranium enrichment.
Stay tuned…….
