Shaykh al-Baghdadi told the Iraqi National News Agency “these raids were carried out on the basis of instigation from ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Hakim. This is something everyone on the street in an-Najaf knows. It was because of our patriotic stand, in opposition to the occupation, to submission and our non-acceptance of the political system” that the occupation is trying to impose on the country.
Iraqi puppet police raided the home and office of Shaykh al-Baghdadi on Tuesday, 27 December following a religious opinion he had issued in which he called for jihad against the occupation and all those who cooperate with it.
Shaykh al-Baghdadi, like the Iraqi Resistance forces, opposes any participation in “elections” or the holding of political office under the occupation regime.
