Iraq denounces the Free Europe radio

The Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri has denounced the programs broadcast by the "Free Europe radio" broadcast to Iraq, stressing that these programs constitute an act against Iraq.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by a Czech daily, Sabri said that " The Czech provides a shelter for Iraq's foes and permits the CIA to disseminate anti- Iraqi campaign. A matter which is considered as damaging for the relations between the two countries." The Iraqi minister indicated that the radio's programs do not effect the situation in Iraq and mean nothing.

Worthy mentioning that the said radio which is financed by the US Congress was established in the 1950s during the cold war in Munich, Germany and then transferred in 1995 to Prague and started broadcasting against Iraq in the autumn of 1998.
