Iran is waiting for results of investigation of special committee
Iran’s ambassador to Baghdad, by underscoring Iraqi government responsibility to provide security for Iranian pilgrims, said Iran is waiting for outcome of investigation by the special committee designated by the government.
Speaking to IRNA in Baghdad, Hassan Kazemi Qomi said negotiations between the two countries concerning providing security for Iranian pilgrims during their visit to the holy cities in Iraq have begun adding that his talk with President Talebani concerning the latest developments in the morning was 'positive'.
He said that Iraqi government has established an especial committee to investigate about the last 48 hours incidents, especially against Iranian pilgrims in Diala and Kazemain to find the perpetrators of the crimes.
The ambassador said, "We are waiting for results of investigation, while we continue our negotiations in this concern."
About his talks with President Talebani, Kazemi Qomi said that the president underlined importance of continuation of secure pilgrimage tours.
The envoy said that in a meeting in the Interior Ministry, all participants were agreed on keeping border passing point open in Mehran and Tehran is still considering border situation.
Responding to a question concerning root cause of the recent incidents in Iraq, the ambassador said insecurity is rooted in continued presence of foreign forces, unilateral policies and the US security plans which are not matched with Iraq political, cultural and social situation and are proposed under pretext of fight against terrorism.
Another reason for emergence of such incidents is the fact that the US obligations in the military forces departure agreement have not been fulfilled.
According to the agreement, strengthening army and police forces in Iraq, transferring full security responsibility and turning over the prisoners to the Iraqi government were among commitments of the US which have not been fulfilled yet.
Unilateral release of a number of prisoners by the US was violation of the commitment; some of these ex-prisoners were involved in terrorist operations.
In a suicide attack on Thursday in eastern province of Diala which occurred in a restaurant, 53 Iranian pilgrims were killed and 90 were injured.
In another incident on Friday noon in the city of Kazemain, north of Baghdad, two women by exploding themselves in front of a holy shrine killed at least 60 people, 15 Iranians, and wounded 125 of whom 36 were Iranian pilgrims.
