The office of Ayatollah
Al-Qazwini denies the claims of Al-Manar arabic television network on
Wednesday April 7. The television network had mistakenly claimed that
Ayatollah Sayid Mortadha Al-Qazwini had died as he was caught between
the combat of the Americans and the followers of Sayid Moqtada Al-Sadr
in Iraq. The network had mixed up Sayid Mortadha Al-Mosawi, an assistant
to Sayid Moqtada Al-Sadr, with Ayatollah Al-Qazwini and it was not the
Ayatollah that was killed.
The conflict between the followers of Al-Sadr and the coalition forces
has become very fierce and dangerous, and many have died in Karbala and
other parts of Iraq. Ayatollah Al-Qazwini calls for all the followers of
Al-Sadr to settle down and to try to work for peace. Since the Arba'in
of Imam Hussein is underway, millions of people have arrived in Karbala
to visit Imam Hussein, and many people can get caught in between the
struggle therefore leading to the loss of many innocent lives. As
Ayatollah Al-Qazwini stated, violence never brings peace, and it is not
for our best interest to start violence now. We ask Allah to help bring
stability and peace to Iraq and to protect Ayatollah Al-Qazwini
and all the Iraqi people especially as they visit the shrines of the
holy Imams.
