UN figures also say that over 4,000 people have died in terrorist attacks in Iraq so far in 2013, with Baghdad province hit worst.
Iraq's former national security advisor says Saudi Arabia is one of the major supporters of armed terrorism, plaguing the violence-stricken country.
Mowaffak al-Rubaie said that all leaders of terrorist groups operating inside Iraq have come to the country from foreign states such as Saudi Arabia and
Yemen, noting that Baghdad has managed to identify them.
Rubaie further noted that over 1,000 Iraqi tribal sheikhs have recently rejected an invitation by
Saudi King Abdullah bin
Abdulaziz to attend a meeting in
Riyadh, describing it as interference in Iraq's domestic affairs.
Recently, cables were released about a secret memo by
Christopher Hill, former
US ambassador to Iraq, sent to the
US Department of State in
September 2009, in which it was mentioned, "Saudi Arabia constitutes the biggest challenge and the problem is more complex in relation to the Iraqi politicians who are trying to form a stable and independent government."
Hill also said "intelligence sources reported that Saudi Arabia is based in the effort to destabilize the government of [
Iraqi] Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki."
Violence has surged across Iraq in recent months, reaching its highest level since 2008.
According to the
United Nations, more than 800 people have been killed across Iraq in various acts of terrorism in August alone.
UN figures also say that over 4,000 people have died in terrorist attacks in Iraq so far in 2013, with Baghdad province hit worst.
Riyadh,
Doha wreaking havoc on Iraq after Syria failure: Analyst
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/08/15/318890/saudis-targeting-iraq-after-syria-failure/
A political commentator says Saudi Arabia and
Qatar are wreaking 'all-out havoc' on Iraq to 'save' themselves from their failures in Syria, Press TV reports.
In a Thursday interview with Press TV,
Hussein Dabsh, an Iraq affairs expert, said Riyadh and Doha are "supporting the same types of militant groups with the same types of ideologies" both in Iraq and Syria.
According to the analyst, such countries are attempting to destabilize Iraq "because their venture in Syria is not going the way they like."
Dabsh further stressed, "Many of these neighboring countries, such as Saudi Arabia are actually, sponsoring the terrorism in Iraq."
The
Iraqi government has said on numerous occasions that Saudi Arabia, along with other countries, is providing huge financial support to the terrorists and militants operating inside the violence-hit country, Dabsh recalled.
Earlier this month, former
US Ambassador to Baghdad Christopher Hill said Saudi Arabia is sponsoring violence in Iraq and represents the biggest challenge to the Iraqi government.
Iraq has seen a surge in violence since the beginning of this year.
The United Nations said on
August 1 that a total of 1,
057 Iraqis were killed and another 2,326 were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence in the month of July, making it the country's deadliest month since 2008.
More than 4,000 people have died in terrorist attacks in Iraq so far in 2013, with
Baghdad Province being the worst hit.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said on Wednesday that Baghdad will continue fighting the violence across the country, stressing, "We won't stop until we protect our people from all the means used for killing, crime and terrorism."
