Iraqi opposition for forming a plenary national government
Iraq, Politics, 12/3/2001

The secretary general of the Islamic reconciliation movement in Iraq Sheikh Jamal al-Wakeel announced his organization's intention to co-ordinate with other groups in the Iraqi opposition to form a plenary national government for the provisional period based on political, ethnic and religious pluralism.

In an interview issued on Sunday with the Kuwaiti daily al-Rai al-Am al-Wakeel said that the Iraqi regime is in a state of fear from the future and its end is nearby and, in addition this regime is in its worst, the US is behind the existence of the Iraqi regime and that Saddam Hussein is the " unlawful " son for the US. The US founded Saddam Hussein to ensure its interests but now it is no more in need of him following the incidents of September 11 which have ensured its interests in the region.

Al-Wakeel said he will discuss during his visit to Kuwait, which came at an official invitation, the financial support for the Iraqis and future bilateral relations following the toppling of Saddam's regime.

On the other hand, al-Wakeel asked Iran to view all Iraqi opposition groups "through one eye."
