Roads to Iraq

In 2004 an arrest warrant issued for Muqtada Al-Sadr accused him of involvement in Al-Khoei murder, I don’t know who killed Al-Khoei, but I do know that his murder had nothing to do with politics. The motivation was simply: money and corruption.

In this post I will show you that all supreme Ayatollah’s in Iraq including Sistani must be questioned as suspects involved with this murder, and step by step I will show you why he was murdered.

A scene of angry Shiite men blocked all roads lead to Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf screaming “City yes, Imam no” when the U.S. occupation tanks tried to enter the city.

At the same event there was another scene which shocked and terrified the public, provoked anger among the Shiites. They saw the son of one of the religious authorities waving his hand from inside an American Abrams tank.

After few weeks, the visitor who literally came on the back of an American tank is murdered, he was Abdul Majid Al-Khoei the eldest son of the late Shiite supreme-cleric Abu al-Qasim Al-Khoei .

Abdul Majid Al-Khoei returned to Najaf from London where he lived and run one of the largest Shiite institutions (Al-Khoei Foundation in other European countries its called Ahl al Beit), so what is this foundation?

Imam Al-Khoei Foundation

Founded in 1989 by the former supreme-cleric Abu Al Kasim Al-Khoei, appointing his son Mohammad Taqi Al khoei as the head of the organization, main task is to collect Shiite public donation [Al Kumus, Al Nithuur...etc] to Al-Hawza.

Considering the deterring situation between Iran and the U.S., fears of imposing financial embargo against Iran, the British government convinced Mohammad Taqi to move the headquarter to London as a charity foundation to become (religious cultural charity foundation).

Has branches in four continents, Al Khoei Foundation is a giant financial institutions, a Black Hole vacuums billion dollars from Shi’a in Gulf Countries and Islamic states, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and western countries with Shi’a communities.

After Al Khoei [the father] death, the foundation ownership went to Sistani [Abdul Majid Al-Khoei's first assistants "Al-Shahrastani" is married to Sistani's sister" and he recommended Sistani as the next supreme-cleric, told you before they are all one "mafia" family]. As stated in Al Khoei’s will that the Foundation goes to the next supreme-cleric while his son stay as the head of the Foundation, runs the business.

Mohammad Taqi managed to smuggle his brother Abd Al Majid Al Khoei out of Iraq to London to run this foundation. Without asking Sistani’s authority, the brothers used an amount of $750 million and bought a luxurious building in London to become the foundations new headquarter (next time I will tell you the story of the third brother).

The foundation became an international investor (supermarkets chains and tea factories in East Asia, India and some investments in Africa) after it is registered by the UNESCO as a Heritage Foundation (with the help of Leith Kubba former Iraqi government spokesman lobbying by king Hussein of Jordan who mediated in the U.N.)

While the rest of the money disappeared, Sistani appointed a Board of Trustees headed by Lebanese cleric (Mohammed Mehdi Shams Al Din), to be honest, Shams Al Din tried to reform the organization and to return the $750 million spent by Mohammed Taqi, but he failed.

In his long resignation letter to Sistani, Shams Al Din wrote the following:

This Foundation is beyond Sistani’s religious authority or his supervision, the Foundation insists on engaging in political activities and participating in conferences of political nature, in favor of this state against other state.

Next we will see what Shams Al Din meant…
