(KUNA) -- The Iraqi government is to summon a number of its ambassadors in regional countries in objection for some countries' reactions on Saddam Hussein's execution, an MP said Saturday.Member of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Parliament Hassan Al-Sanid told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) the US Administration should prevent its regional allies from triggering sectarian conflicts in Iraq. He added that the Iraqi government may summon some of its ambassadors in the region for consultations, noting that the Foreign Relations Committee in the Parliament is discussing regional and foreign countries' stands following Saddam Hussein's execution, which took place last Saturday. Al-Sanid did not name specific countries, but said the government would discuss its future relationship with these countries after their intervention in Iraqi internal affairs.
Earlier today, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki threatened to reconsider Iraq's relations with the countries that criticized the execution of Saddam Hussein and did not respect the Iraqi people's desires. Al-Maliki stressed that executing Saddam is an internal affair and the government rejects all official and non-official reactions of some countries, which he did not name, describing the foreign criticizing of Saddam's execution as provocation of strife, a clear intervention in Iraqi internal affairs, and an insult for families of Saddam's victims.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry sent a protest message to Libya through the Arab League, considering the Libyan three-day mourning against executing Saddam as an "irresponsible" intervention in Iraqi internal affairs and a challenging of the Iraqi judicial system.
