"A hasty and cruel execution, which its external supporters were not ashamed to broadcast to the whole world, will certainly widen the split in the Iraqi society," he said.

MOSCOW, December 31 (RIA Novosti) - The execution of the former Iraqi president has led to escalation of violence in the mid-East country, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Sunday.

..."Instead of so much needed national reconciliation and concord, the Iraqi people are facing a new wave of fratricide and numerous casualties," Mikhail Kamynin said in a statement.

The Russian diplomat said this fact should be recognized "by all those who have sent troops to Iraq and whose 'coalition liberation mission' resulted in an execution of the former notorious dictator."

Kamynin said that these {coalition} forces are responsible for the current crisis and bloodshed in Iraq.
