In his last fresh inter­view on Al-Watan news­pa­per, Harith Al-Dhari Head of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Mus­lim Schol­ars] keeps the same atti­tude on the ques­tion about the fight in Basra [and later in Sadr-City] blam­ing all groups say­ing it is a power strug­gle between Shi­ites par­ties, and the Sadrists helped Maliki to obtain his post.

This atti­tude is crit­i­cized by Iraqi writer Al-Lami saying:

It is clear that the AMSI rep­re­sented by Al-Dahri is tim­ing its state­ment to set­tle old dis­putes with the Sadrists trend, at the when the gov­ern­ment attacked and slaugh­tered the Sadrists AMSI state­ments came sim­i­lar to the state­ments used by Dawa Party and Supreme Council.

Reported two days ago and the news con­firmed by many news­pa­pers, it seems that the per­son who is lead­ing Al-Qaeda [or so called Al-Qaeda] is the Kur­dish, governor’s deputy Khisro Qoran who is a mem­ber of Barazani’s party:

The con­fes­sions of three sus­pects revealed the con­nec­tion between the governor’s deputy Qoran and death squads groups tar­get­ing for­mer Ba’athists and high edu­cated aca­d­e­mics, Chris­t­ian cler­ics, the sus­pects revealed that Qoran runs the death squads for three years and had con­nec­tion with Al-Qaeda in Mosul.

More infor­ma­tion on Okaz:

Iraqi MP al-Nujaifi revealed that infor­ma­tion of the size and effec­tiv­ness of Al-Qaeda orga­ni­za­tion in Mosul were highly exaggerated…Mosul is an old tar­get for the Kurds to seize some of its area to their own region in Kurdistan.

So this is the sce­nario, Kur­dish mili­tia for three started the vio­lence oper­a­tions of killings, kid­naps and bomb­ing to push the Amer­i­cans [or Maliki] to get involved in a mil­i­tary oper­a­tion in Mosul, by this the Kurds can “offi­cially” seize parts of Mosul to their own region.
