NAJAF, Iraq - The Iraqi police chief in Najaf accused the Syrian government Saturday of involvement in last weekend’s deadly bombing that killed 52 people in the Shiite pilgrimage city.
One of three suspects arrested in Najaf immediately after the attack “confessed that Syrian intelligence services had played a role in the blast”, on December 19 that wounded more than 140 people, said General Ghaleb al-Jazairi.
“He had lived in Syria where he began to work for the Syrian intelligence” at a camp for Iraqi refugees, he said.
The suspect comes from the southern port of Basra, the general said.
Police found him immediately after Sunday’s car bombing and a scarf stained with blood was found in his belongings, Jazairi added.
More than 50 people have been rounded up in Najaf in connection with the attack that coincided with a car bombing in the shrine city of Karbala that killed 14 people.
