Did US and Israel stir it up for the Shiite and Sunni chaos? Car bombing may have been closer to home than we thought....

Secret services of the United States and Israel could be responsible for latest attacks in Iraq

BAGHDAD, December 20.—The secret services of the United States and Israel could be behind the suicidal car bombings that left 200 victims in the Iraqi cities of Nayaf and Kerbala, as a way of exacerbating the differences between Shiites and Sunnis, maintaining that Gulf nation in chaos, and thus justifying the presence of the occupation forces.

That was stated by the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme guide of Iran.

It a statement circulated by the official IRNA news agency of that country, Khamenei affirmed that he was convinced in his belief given the actions that jointly caused the death of 66 people and close to 200 injured, according to the latest reports.

Khamenei called for maintaining unity among Islamites at a point when the U.S. occupiers are spearheading efforts to create differences within that religious community.

According to PL, the Iraqi police force – created by the forces of occupation – revealed today that some 50 suspects have been detained over the car bombing in Nayaf.

Seen as a bastion of the militia of the religious leader Moqrada al Sadr, the city was the objective a few months back of a high-level military operation executed by the U.S. occupation forces and the so-called National Guard.

On the other hand, the DPA agency reported that the insurgents today warned Iraqis who fled Falluja when that city was massacred by the U.S. troops not to return as there is still fighting there.

Leaflets that appeared today in the provisional camps erected on the outskirts of Falluja for residents who fled the city, note: "Families should not go back now to the city because they will run the risk of endangering the lives of children, women and the elderly, given that combats are continuing and the occupation troops are in an impasse."

The statement is signed by the Falluja Mujadeen.

Residents who are still in the city have recounted renewed fighting and U.S. air attacks on presumed insurgency positions. The Iraqi transitional government has agreed an agenda with the U.S. army for the progressive return of the 200,000 Falluja inhabitants who fled during the U.S. offensive last month.
