ALJAZEERA reports, "Iraq's prime minister has rejected Saudi and UAE media claims that a $500m ransom was paid by Qatar to Shia Muslim armed groups in Iraq to secure the release of 26 kidnapped Qatari hunters, saying that the money was received by the Iraqi government and that the sum was still in the Iraqi central bank." REUTERS adds:
"Not one dollar, or euro (...) was spent; they
are still in their crates, supervised by a committee, and two
representatives of the Qatari government came to check when they were
deposited under the trusteeship of the central bank," he said.
The decision on how to dispose of the money "has
a political aspect and has a legal aspect, it will be taken in
conformity with Iraqi law," he said, without elaborating.
It's not Iraq's money.
How does Hayder think there's anything to decide?
It gets returned.
Unless, of course, Hayder's making it clear that the Shia militias who carried out the kidnapping were acting on his orders?
Is that what he's saying?
Meanwhile The Mosul Slog continues.
Day 235 and still The Mosul Slog continues.
