BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A prominent Sunni Arab group charged Friday that some officials
in the Shiite-led government have links with Shiite militias involved in sectarian
violence and should be held responsible for any attacks by the armed groups.
The Association of Muslim Scholars said it had obtained information that militias were
planning to attack neighborhoods in Baghdad, in line with bloody assaults this year
pitting members of Iraq's majority Shiites against Sunni Arabs who dominated the country
under Saddam Hussein.
"We also have come to know that some officials in this government know of this criminal
scheme, which raises suspicions that they are collaborating with these militias," the
association said.
"The Association of Muslim Scholars holds the current Iraqi government and the occupation
forces responsible for any injustice against Iraqi people," said the group, which is believed
to have links to the Sunni Arab-led insurgency fighting government and U.S.-led forces.
