Saudi Arabia criticized Friday statements made by Iraqi Premier Ibrahim al-Jaafari yesterday in which he claimed that Saudi authorities were not providing sufficient facilities and comfort for Iraqi Hajj pilgrims and had not really considered an increasing desire of Iraqis to perform Hajj this year. The Saudi Press Agency quoted an official of the Hajj Ministry as saying that Jaafari's statements were an attempt to use the Hajj issue to deal with "his faltering political position" in Iraq. Saudi Arabia always offers sufficient comfort to the largest possible number of Iraqi pilgrims, said the Saudi Hajj Ministry.
