Mossad Accused Of Assassinating Iraqi Intellectuals
Feb 13, 2004
Source: Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice

The General Secretary of the National League of Academics and Intellectuals of Iraq, Hani Ilyas has said that the Zionist Mossad is behind the assassinations of Iraqi religious leaders (‘Ulama’) and intellectuals. Ilyas said that most of the ‘Ulama’, intellectuals, and university professors who have been assassinated were not killed in connection with any “settling of scores” or revenge.

In a statement to al-Mustaqbal, Ilyas said that most of the victims were not clients of the pre-invasion Iraqi regime, and this fact means that their assassinations must be linked to an effort to sabotage Iraq’s institutions. He said that “the dead are doctors, engineers, university professors, judges, and lawyers – a fact that increases the conviction that the aim of the assassinations is to kill off the qualitative cells of the Iraqi social body to prevent it from growth and development.”

The occupation authorities have calculated that the number of people assassinated in Iraq since the US aggressors occupied the country is about 1,000 persons, most of them members of the intellectual elite.
