Iraq Says Syria Still Harboring Insurgents

From MEMRI:

In anticipation of the Syrian prime minister’s visit to Iraq (which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week), Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zibari called on Syria to put an end to the conspiracies against his country by former Iraqi military officers residing in Syria.

Zibari told Syria and other Arab countries that these anti-government acts are “unfriendly.”
