Analyst Sees CIA and Mossad Hand Behind UN Office Blast in Baghdad

TEHRAN, August 24 (Mehr News Agency) — Political analyst Mohammad-Hassan Ghadiri Abyaneh said here Friday that the CIA or Mossad might have engineered the recent bomb blast which destroyed the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, a possibility which should not be ignored. “The U.S. is trying to frighten away international organizations from Iraq and will use the incident as a pretext for its continued presence there,” he said. He stated that the U.S. is strongly opposed to the UN presence in Iraq and intends to expand its domination over the country. He added that the U.S. seeks long-term occupation of Iraq and the usurpation of its oil resources. He said, “The UN has frequently tried to play a constructive role in Iraqi affairs and also tried to restrain the U.S. in regard to this issue.” Ghadiri Abyaneh added that the main U.S. objective is to dismember Iraq in order to reduce popular resistance against the occupation; however, the U.S. is trying to give the impression that it is committed to the territorial integrity of Iraq. He stressed that Iraq has become a quagmire for U.S. troops and that they have become easy targets for those who are opposed to their presence, with U.S. casualties increasing day by day. Ghadiri Abyaneh said that the U.S. would strive to thwart the establishment of a popular government in Iraq; therefore, incidents such as the attack on the UN headquarters are likely to recur. “Thus, the U.S. and Israel, who are behind these operations, tend to attribute them to the internal opposition,” he said.
