Iraq planning subversion - Interior Minister says

    ABIDJAN

    Mauritania’s Interior Minister, Dahould Abdel Jelil, said on Monday Iraq had been planning subversive acts in Mauritania because of Nouakchott’s decision to establish diplomatic links with Israel.

    He told the French news agency, AFP, that Iraqi agents had received direct orders from their country’s deputy prime ministers, Tareq Aziz and Taha Yasin Ramadan, to recruit saboteurs from mainly the pro-Iraq Taliaa opposition party. AFP said four Taliaa party leaders visited Baghdad recently and that a delegation from Iraq’s Baath Party was in Nouakchott for a political congress.
