Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed
Ali Khamenei says terrorist attacks in Muslim countries like
Iran, Iraq and Pakistan are carried out by foreign agents.
"Bloody measures in some Muslim countries such as Iraq
and Pakistan and certain parts of Iran are aimed at creating
discord and difference among Shia and Sunni Muslims," said
Ayatollah Khamenei in a meeting with Iranian officials in charge
of organizing Hajj ceremonies on Monday.
"This is why Muslims should pay great attention to the
issue of their unity," added the Leader.
"Perpetrators of terrorist and bloody moves are directly
or indirectly linked to foreign agents," the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Hajj pilgrims cannot remain
indifferent to events happening in the Muslim world particularly
in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and parts of Pakistan.
"During Hajj ceremonies, [the pilgrims] should be sensitive
about moves against the Islamic unity or efforts which aim to
offense the flag of the Muslim world which has been hoisted
in Iran," added the Leader.
The Leader's remarks came after at least 41 people, including
seven senior commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps
(IRGC), were killed in a bombing on October 18 during a unity
gathering of Shia and Sunni tribal leaders in the town of Pishin
on the Iran-Pakistan border.
The Pakistan-based Jundallah, a closely affiliated with the
notorious al-Qaeda organization, accepted responsibility for
the deadly attack.
The Jundallah terrorist group, led by Abdolmalek Rigi, has
staged a torrent of terrorist attacks in Iran.
In a recent interview with Press TV, Rigi's brother, Abdulhamid,
confirmed that the Jundallah leader had established links with
US agents.
Abdulhamid said that at just one of his meetings with the US
operatives, Rigi had received $100,000 to foment sectarian strife
in Iran.
Meanwhile, synchronized car bombings in Baghdad on Sunday killed
more than 160 people and injured over 700 others.
The bombings, detonated within a minute of each other, also
damaged the Justice Ministry and Provincial Council complexes.
