Enemy of Iraqi Unity continue to create chaos among muslims

Clashes kill four in Iraq’s Fallujah
Four people have been killed and nearly 20 others injured in clashes between Iraqi security forces and anti-government protesters in the city of Fallujah.

Witnesses said a number of the demonstrators took to the streets of Fallujah, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) west of the capital city of Baghdad, on Thursday, trying to block a major road and hurling stones at the security forces.

According to reports, Iraqi police tried to disperse the protesters by firing shots in the air.

Iraq has been the scene of anti-government demonstrations since December 23, 2012, when bodyguards of Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi were arrested on terrorism-related charges.

The demonstrators allege that the arrests were made on sectarian grounds and demand an end to anti-terrorism laws. However, Baghdad says it is up to the parliament to decide on abolishing those laws.

On January 9, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned anti-government protesters that security guards could intervene to end illegal demonstrations across the country.

“There is a difference between a peaceful rally and an act of disobedience and blocking off a highway,” Maliki stated.

As it is known Turkey provided Hashemi with a $4mln budget to stir unrests in Iraq’s Western province of Anbar.
Security forces revealed on Wednesday that several regional states, including Qatar, have paid $100 to each participant in this week’s protest rallies in al-Anbar in support of Iraqi Finance Minister Rafia al-Issawi, whose bodyguards have been arrested on terrorism charges last month. Al-Nakhil news agency informed Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz and Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani have provided Hashemi with extensive backup to fuel ethnic clashes in Iraq.
Meantime, Iraq’s Al-Nakhil news agency quoted informed sources as saying today that Turkey has also provided Hashemi with a $4mln budget to stir unrests in Iraq’s Western province of Anbar.
The sources noted that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have earmarked huge budgets for fueling ethnic strife in Anbar and Nineveh provinces.
