Sunni Muslim Scholars accuse Bader organization of killing Sunni

The Muslim Scholars Commission, the main Sunni commissions in Iraq and the Bader organization, the military wing of the Higher Council For The Islamic Revolution In Iraq supported by Iran, exchanged accusations over the responsibility of Bader organizations over killing mosques Imams inside and outside Baghdad.

The commission's secretary general Harith al-Dari stressed that Bader organization is behind the assassination of worshippers and Imams of the Sunni mosques in Iraq.

The chairman of the Sunni Waqf in Iraq, Adnan al-Duleimi, called for closing the mosques for three days in order to maintain the safety of the worshippers and the Imams, and in protest of the acts of killing and detention against the Imams of the mosques.

The secretary general of the Islamic party Tareq al-Hashemi extended calls for the government's sides to announce their position on these assassinations and killings.

The statements of the Arab Sunni came in a press conference held in Baghdad following the funeral of one member of the commission whose body was found killed two days earlier in one of Baghdad's quarters.

Hundreds of eulogizers of Sheikh Hassan al-Neimi, member of the Shoura council in the Muslim Scholars Commission whose body was found two days after his detention, carried banners against the government and chanted slogans accusing the new minister of the interior Bayan Jaber of supporting the assassination operations of Sunni scholars.

For its part, Bader organizations denied these accusations. Hassan al-Ameri the secretary general of the organization and member of the National Assembly for the Shiite Iraqi coalition list said that his organization has no connection to the killing of those persons.
