The official Iraqi news agency, INA, quoted an Iraqi security services source as saying ?The forces of evil and vice in Iran have yet committed another new crime against Iraqi people that coincides with the 21st anniversary of the start of the Iranian aggression against Iraq.? The source was referring to a terrorist bomb that exploded in a crowded central Baghdad market on Tuesday.
The Iraqi reaction to the bombing in the central commercial hub was to hold the Iranian regime responsible and to threaten retaliation. ?Iraq, while condemning such outlawed criminal acts, holds the Iranian regime responsible for such a cowardly operation and reserves for itself the right to retaliate at a suitable time,? INA reported. An explosive device planted between two buses in March, which killed two people, was also blamed on Iranian terrorists.
