Recent documents released by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks came under debate in Iraq as Baghdad intends to scrutinize the docs, informed sources said. Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said on the sidelines of his participation in Asian Parliamentary Assembly in Damascus that the United States had other targets behind invading Iraq. The US has weakened in Iraq and Afghanistan and its attempts to spur discord and hinder the Iraqi government formation have failed, Larijani added. WikiLeaks documents revealed on Monday that Iraq’s Foreign Ministry has provided US Embassy in Baghdad since 2008 with the names of Iranian diplomats asking for a visa to enter Iraq. (Alsumaria Satellite TV) Iraqi Interior Ministry Special Forces thwarted an attempt by a suicide bomber to blow up a vehicle by the French Embassy in Karrada, central Baghdad. The car bomb was seized and the suicide bomber was arrested in a house near the building of the French Embassy. Brigadier General Ahmed Abu Rheef, the director of internal affairs and security at the interior ministry, said the car bomb which was targeting the French Embassy carried more than half a ton of explosives. The arrest was made upon the confessions of Baghdad Wali and Al Qaeda group that was arrested days ago. The suicide bomber is under investigation, Brigadier General Abu Rheef said stressing that the number of Al Qaeda detainees reached 13 since the arrest of Baghdad Wali including the War Minister and Al Qaeda Mufti.

Amid the WikiLeaks-released US diplomatic papers printed in the London-based Guardian Monday, a communiqué from the American Embassy in Baghdad dated November 2009, describes the Iraqi Kurds as a key player in assuring “a pro-Iranian Shia victory” in Iraq’s general election. The leaked document focusing on Iran’s influence on Iraqi politics refers to “historic ties” between Iran and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) led by the Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, and “to a lesser extent” with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) led by Kurdistan regional President Massoud Barzani, assuring a Shia victory in the country’s polls. Describing Kurdish leaders Talabani and Barzani as “seasoned masters of the Iraqi political chessboard”, the 2009 communiqué predicts they would provide an “important swing vote” but “unlikely to reveal their true coalition intentions until after the election”. “Kurdish leaders such as Talabani and Barzani will likely exploit their political strength among Shia/Sunni counterparts to protect and expand Kurdish influence in a future government,” the document reads. Officials from the Shia-dominated Iraqi National Alliance (INA) are described in the paper as “confident that the Kurds will join their coalition”, thus guaranteeing their victory. One element described in the US embassy document as an “unknown factor” is the Kurdish opposition, the Gorran List, led by the former PUK secretary Gen. Nawshirwan Mustafa, which is “committed to unseating the PUK (and Talabani) in Suleymaniyah province”. The paper goes on to speculate that Iran could provide Gorran with the financial support necessary to “ensure its long-term viability in the KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government) and national politics”, but describes the consequential undermining of Iran’s relations Sayfa 4
