The
Central Information Bureau of the Iraqi Communist Party issued the following
statement on 5 January 2005:
We received with utmost
rage and condemnation the news of the two horrific crimes that were carried
out today by two terrorists, in Kabala and
Ramadi, killing about 110 people and
injuring more than 200.
These
two massacres follow a series of acts of terror in Baghdad and other cities
during the past few days. Among the most
horrific of these acts was the crime committed in Miqdadiya by another
criminal suicide bomber! 7 amid a crowd of mourners,
killing 36 people and injuring more than 40.
All
this indicates the determination of the forces of terror and crime to escalate
their bloody campaign, in a desperate
attempt to obstruct the political process in our country while in its final
stages. They also ! aim to prevent
embarking upon laying the foundations of a federal democratic regime and a
state based on law and human rights,
replacing the legacy of Saddam’s despotic dictatorship.
While
expressing strongest condemnation for this grave escalation by the forces of
terror and crime, we reiterate our
determination to move forward, along with
our people and their patriotic forces, to
achieve the big task
! ng1033 of
building the new Iraq that enjoys peace,
security, stability,
freedom and dignity.
