Judiciary chief blames US for failing to guarantee least security in Iraq

IRNA

Tehran, Sept 1, IRNA -- Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi 
Shahroudi said here Monday that the US troops, who invaded Iraq five 
months ago, have failed to guarantee the least security in the war 
shattered country. 
Addressing high ranking judicial officials, he also expressed 
condolences on the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyed Mohammad Baqer 
al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution in 
Iraq. 
How can those who are unable to maintain security in a society, 
claim they would restore democracy to Iraq? Shahroudi asked, adding 
that the question is they are either unable to provide security 
in the country or seek their interests in an insecure and chaotic 
situation. 
The incident has plunged Shiite theological schools, Iraqi nation 
and Muslim world into grief, he said adding that the global arrogance 
and violators of nations` rights are afraid of the strong faith of 
Islamic nations and their committed wise religious scholars. 
Both Zionists and global arrogance were concerned about the 
presence of Ayatollah Hakim in Iraq, he underlined. 
As the martyrdom of Iranian religious scholars have guaranteed 
the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the blood of martyr Hakim will serve 
to consolidate bonds among the Iraqi people and would lead them 
towards independence, freedom and Islamic teachings, he said. 
The martyrdom of Ayatollah Hakim will be a source of blessing 
for the Iraqi nation, Shahroudi concluded.
