Al Jaafari: Worse to come from rebels |
2005-07-14 |
![]() Speaking in parliament, Al Jaafari said the recent kidnapping and killing of Egypt's top envoy to Baghdad by alleged Al Qaida militants was a direct response to the success of the Brussels donors conference for Iraq's reconstruction held on June 22. "The killing of the late Ehab Al Sharif was nothing but an expression of the success of the political process," Al Jaafari said. "So we must prepare ourselves that every time we make progress in the process and every time we make big achievements the reaction will be big. This operation (Al Sharif's killing) aims to undermine the major political progress we achieved in a short time." An Iraqi foreign ministry delegation is being dispatched to Cairo to try to close the rift between the two countries that emerged after the killing of Al Sharif, who was kidnapped from a Baghdad street on July 2. |
