Imam accuses the Americans of the Bombing Al-Qadir Sufi shrine
Cameras are not allowed inside the shrine, this is a very rare image of the shrine.
Iraqi TV interviewed Sheikh Eissawi the Imam of Al-Qadir shrine speaking from the bombing site between the rubble crying said:
Eissawi: The mosque on the brink of total collapse also the dome is damaged and the centuries old library of the mosque also collapsed.
Tv anchor: Dr. Eissawi, who do you think did the bombing?
Eissawi: My sister, he is the same one who targeted Al-Askari mosque before, who will benefit from destroying the shrine? Everyday we help hundreds of poor families and Iraqis, everyday we receive dead bodies and we wash them bury them for free….America is not a humanitarian organization, they didn’t come here for our sake but they came to achieve their own benefits, and here they showed their true face with bombing mosques and killing innocents.
