Iranian minister deplores attacks on holy shrines in Iraq

Iranian Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Ahmad Masjed Jamei, Thursday condemned the U.S. occupation troops' violations of the sanctity of holy places in Iraq, particularly in Najaf city, adding that those acts are inhuman.

In a statement in Tehran, the Iranian Minister considered putting obstacles in front of mass media and journalists, preventing them from showing the violence of occupation troops in Iraq is a violation on the Islamic world.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Hizbullah Party said that the U.S. occupation troop's storming of the Iraqi city of Najaf reflects hidden intentions that could bring matters to sensitive stages.

In a statement in Beirut, the Party underlined that the only resolution for the dangerous situation in Iraq is the end of the occupation and paving the way for Iraqi people to determine their own affairs.
