US 'prepares for a coup by arming Iraqi factions'
By Basil Adas, Correspondent
Baghdad:
The attack that destroyed the two minarets of Al Askari Imams' shrine
in Samarra, strengthened fears of Sunni-Shiite sectarian civil war.
The development is in sync with the rearmament run of different
factions by Iran and the United States in Iraq, say Iraqi politicians.
Abu Hamza Al Kinani, a former figure in Moqtada Al Sadr's Mahdi Army, told Gulf News:
"Iran's Revolutionary Guard used to provide weapons to the Mahdi Army
and train its fighters how to trap cars and make roadside explosives."
He added: "The Mahdi Army benefited from former Iraqi army elements
who joined it after the overthrow of Saddam Hussain's regime."
Charges
The Shiite bloc's charges against US troops escalated by accusing
them of providing weapons to Iraqi Sunni groups. Some Iraqi politicians
believe that the US stance aims to counter Iran's continuous arms
supply to Shiite militias.
