Nasr Allah: US doesn't want stable Iraq

>>>>>>> Read on - this is an I/P story <<<<<<<<


The United States and Israel had the most to gain from the killing of a top Shia cleric in Iraq last week, said Hizb Allah Secretary General Sayyid Hasan Nasr Allah.

Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim was killed in a car bomb last Friday in Najaf. At least 80 other people also died in the blast

Speaking to about 3,000 Shias who gathered to mourn al-Hakim in the Beirut’s southern suburbs, Nasr Allah said: “The Americans do not want a state in Iraq, they want a splintered Iraq and the Israelis want to crush Iraq.”

"For more than one reason it is in Israel's interests and part of its plan to kill the leaders that present or even might present a danger to Israel," Nasr Allah said.

But the cleric stopped short of blaming either the US or Israel for al-Hakim’s killing.
