Iraqi security advisor: Iran has ended meddling in Iraqi affairs Sunday 25 February 2007 18:17 Iran has in the last weeks ended its alleged interference in Iraqi affairs, Iraqi Security Advisor Mowaffak al-Rubaie said Sunday. Speaking to US broadcaster CNN, al-Rubaie said there was evidence that Iran had ended deliveries of weapons and bombs to Shiite militias. Iran has consistently denied such involvement in Iraq. Al-Rubaie added that it appeared that the leadership in Tehran had notified some groups in Iraq with which it had close ties to change their position and support the Iraqi government. Al-Rubaie however added that there was no evidence that Iran supported the al-Qaeda terrorist network. Concerning the imposition of a security plan for Baghdad, al- Rubaie spoke of "strategic patience," saying that success in bringing security to the Iraqi capital was a question of months and not days or weeks. Iraq could not governed by election cycle in the United States, the Iraqi official said in apparent reference to the need by US elected officials to justify their Iraq policies domestically. According to al-Rubaie, the Iraqi government had its first success against the so-called Mahdi Army, a militia loyal to the radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The Mahdi Army had lost its grip on some neighbourhoods in Baghdad, al-Rubaie added, saying the militiamen had left Baghdad for areas near Iran and in the country's south. dpa da mga +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
