Help for for poultry farmers
(Al-Ittihad)

helping poultry farmers get through the crisis they
face due to a slump in consumer demand caused by
bird flu fears. Dawood Mohammed Shareef, the
director general of veterinary affairs at the

to the Iraqi cabinet, and consumers should rest
assured that they can safely buy poultry products
once laboratory testing has been done.

Iraqi Hizbullah ready to take on shrine
assailants
(Al-Bayyna)
Al-Haj Hassan al-Sari, the head of the Hizbullah
movement which is part of the [Shia-led] United
Iraqi Alliance, has denounced as an “ugly crime” the
bombing of the dome of [shrine] of the two Imams,
Ali al-Hadi and Hassan al-Askari, in Samarra. The
attack targeted all Muslims and the entire Iraqi
people, Sari said, adding that the Hizbullah
movement was ready to fight the criminals if
requestsed to do so by the Marjiyah [Shia clerical
establishment]. He went on to say that certain
political blocs are playing a double game -
negotiating at a political level, and supporting
terrorists at the same time – and he warned them of
the consequences if they do not take a clear stand
on these criminal acts. But he said that an
escalation [in violence] would affect all Iraqis
adversely.

(Al-Bayan)
In a meeting with Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jafari,
United States ambassador Zalmai Khalilzad has
offered his government’s condolences to the
administration and people of Iraq for the terrorist
act [on the Samarra shrine]. The ambassador
reaffirmed America’s will to help Iraqis move
towards building a new country.

All-inclusive government does not make for
democracy – UIA politician
(Al-Sabah al-Jadeed)
Abbas al-Bayati, a member of parliament who
represents the United Iraqi Alliance, has there will
be no “red or green lines” to discriminate for and
against party lists [in the formation of a new
government]. More negotiations were needed to
complete the process, he said. Having all political
blocs represented in government would not constitute
democracy, he said, but there should be opposition
voices in parliament to check on the executive’s
performance.
