The Iraqiya Coalition led by former premier Dr. Ayad Allawi announced the claims raised by Army Ground Forces Commander Ali Gheidan on demonstrators provoking the clashes in Fallujah are nothing but lies.
The Iraqiya Coalition also rejected the claims of Deputy Prime Minister Shahrestani saying al-Qaeda elements were killed in Fallujah.
Sheikh Ahmad Abu Rishe, Secretary General of the Iraqi Awakening Congress, rejected the remarks of Maliki’s government claiming al-Qaeda elements being present among the al-Anbar demonstrators. He underscored Maliki’s government and the Interior Ministry have failed in managing the country’s security dossier.
