Azzaman, the international daily, wrote in an article: the terrorism in Iraq is not carried out by Iraqis, rather it is merely the plot of the Iranian regime. The under prosecution members of al-Qaeda, the Qods force and Iraqi militias who have been trained in Iran and are manipulated by the Iranian regime have admitted to this fact.

The article adds: The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Qods force train the al-Qaeda organization and Iran-linked sectarian militias to pursue terrorist acts in Iraq. This is what we were witness to in Basra, Diyala and Nainava.
