Iraq’s most senior Sunni politician has accused Shiite militias of waging an unprecedented campaign of genocide against Iraq’s Sunni population. Adnan al-Dulaimi said Shiites were on the brink of total control in Baghdad. He wrote in email to the Associated Press, “It is a war that has started in Baghdad and they will not stop there but will expand it to all Arab lands.” He accused Iran of directing, arming and supporting the militias. The 75-year-old al-Dulaimi heads the Iraqi Accordance Front, the largest Sunni political bloc in parliament. The coalition of parties pulled its six Cabinet ministers from Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite-dominated government two weeks ago prompting a political crisis.
