 Support The DrudgeReport; Visit Our Advertisers  Chalabi severs ties with US-led authority in Iraq Thu May 20 2004 10:26:59 ET Iraqi Governing Council member Ahmed Chalabi said Thursday his relations with the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) were "non-existent" after an overnight raid against his house. "My relationship with the CPA now is non-existent ..." he told reporters after claiming a firefight had narrowly been avoided between his guards and US-backed Iraqi police during the raid. "I am America's best friend in Iraq; if the CPA finds it necessary to direct an armed attack against my home you can see the state of relations between the CPA and the Iraqi people." The former Pentagon favourite also called on US President George W. Bush to hand over sovereignty to the Iraqi people without delay. "My message to the CPA is let my people go, let my people be free. We are grateful to President Bush for liberating Iraq but it is time for the Iraqi people to run their affairs," he told a press conference. |
