Baghdad – INA
Leader of the Shiite movement, Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr, on Wednesday called on the British government to hand over Baathists and infiltrators residing in London, describing their presence there as a political and diplomatic loophole.
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Sadr said: “I have been informed that the British ambassador claims that they were the ones who handed power over to the Shiites in Iraq.”
He added that the remarks “angered and saddened me at the same time,” saying he found it appropriate to respond to “the claims of the ambassador of the former ‘great’ state.”
