More cracks inside the Kurdish coalition

After the first crack reported here, Jor­dan­ian news­pa­per Al-Arab Al-Youm reported today Barzani’s KDP dis­trib­uted leaflets in Bagh­dad pub­lished the party’s own research cen­ter accus­ing Talabani’s PUK ally with join­ing the “Iran­ian” coali­tion [refers to the Iraqi Shi­ite Par­ties] and get­ting the mil­i­tary and polit­i­cal sup­port directly from Iran.

The leaflets quoted parts of Talabani’s let­ter to the Iran­ian Moham­mad Ja’fari head of the Iran­ian Rev­o­lu­tion Guards in which Tal­a­bani com­plains about the U.S. sup­port to Barzani’s KDP because of the party’s alliance with the Shi­ites Supreme Council.

In other part of the let­ter Tal­a­bani pointed out to Barazani’s hatred to the “Islamic Repub­lic” and his coop­er­a­tion with Iraq’s for­mer pres­i­dent Sad­dam Hussein.

Also, Tal­a­bani started the let­ter with about the coop­er­a­tion between the Barzani — Lon­don — Wash­ing­ton to sup­port the Iran­ian Khalq Orga­ni­za­tion against Iran.
