Talanani Warns Neighboring Countries
(Asharq al-Awsat)
Iraqi president Jalal Talabani warned that Iraq
could create trouble for its neighbours if they did
not stop interfering in Iraq’s internal affairs. He
said Iraq would lose its patience with Syria and
Iran if they did not stop meddling.
Talabani added that Iraq can do what neighbouring
countries are doing in the country. “
We can support the opposition in other countries..
in Iran and Syria, but we don't do that because our
policy is not to interfere in other countries,” he
said.

(Azzaman)
Iraqi minister of human rights, Wijdan Salim, has

organised by the United Nations in Geneva asked the
Iraqi government to explain why the Saddam trial's
chief judge has been replaced and why defence
lawyers were excluded from court after they
protested over the sacking.
Meanwhile, the ministry has uncovered evidence that
Iraqi detainees are being tortured in prison by
militia members and police officers. Thirty-three
police officers have lately been put on trial for
abusing prisoners.
