Srikandi גבורה - Iraq berkata
"kumpulan pengganas" telah merampas bahan-bahan nuklear digunakan
untuk penyelidikan saintifik di sebuah universiti di utara negara. Utusan PBB
Iraq telah merayu bantuan untuk "menghindari ancaman penggunaannya oleh
pengganas di Iraq atau di luar negara."
Menurut Duta PBB
Iraq, Mohamed Ali Alhakim, kira2 40 kilogram uranium sebatian telah
disimpan di Mosul University. Beliau menambah bahawa bahan-bahan seperti
"boleh digunakan dalam pembuatan senjata pemusnah besar-besaran."
"Kumpulan
pengganas telah merampas kuasa bahan nuklear di laman yang keluar dari kawalan
negeri ini," Alhakim memberitahu Setiausaha Agung PBB Ban Ki-moon dalam
surat 8 Julai yang diperoleh oleh Reuters pada Rabu.
Alhakim memberi amaran bahawa
bahan-bahan boleh diseludup keluar dari Iraq.
Bahan-bahan yg
dicuri tdk dipercayai menjadi diperkaya uranium, yg akan menjadikan ia
sukar bagi mereka utk dijadikan senjata, satu sumber kerajaan kepada Reuters.
"Republik Iraq
memberitahu masyarakat antarabangsa daripada perkembangan ber-bahaya dan meminta
bantuan dan sokongan yg diperlukan utk menghindari ancaman penggunaannya
oleh pengganas di Iraq atau di luar negara," kata Alhakim dalam suratnya.
Iraq bersetuju
dengan Konvensyen Perlindungan Fizikal Bahan Nuklear pada hari Isnin, menurut
Agensi Tenaga Atom Antarabangsa (IAEA). Ahli-ahli konvensyen itu bersetuju
untuk melindungi kemudahan nuklear dan bahan yg akan digunakan untuk kegunaan
aman domestik, penyimpanan, dan pengangkutan.
"Ia juga
menyediakan untuk kerjasama antara berkembang dan di kalangan negara mengenai
langkah-langkah yang cepat untuk mencari dan mendapatkan semula bahan nuklear
yang dicuri atau diseludup, mengurangkan sebarang kesan radiologi sabotaj, dan
mencegah dan kesalahan pertempuran yang berkaitan," yang dinyatakan IAEA.
Laporan itu datang
hanya sehari selepas Iraq memberitahu PBB bahawa pemberontak mengambil kawalan
bekas kemudahan senjata kimia yang terletak di utara Baghdad. Alhakim berkata
dalam surat kepada PBB bahawa "kumpulan pengganas bersenjata"
mengambil alih kompleks Muthanna pada 11 Jun. Kemudahan ini memegang sisa-sisa
bekas program senjata kimia.
Dalam suratnya
kepada ketua PBB, yang telah menjadi pengetahuan umum pada hari Selasa, Alhakim
juga merayu bantuan dari masyarakat antarabangsa. "Kerajaan Iraq meminta
Ahli Syarikat Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu utk memahami ketidakupayaan semasa Iraq,
kerana kemerosotan keadaan keselamatan, untuk menunaikan tanggungjawab untuk
memusnahkan senjata kimia," katanya.
Keuntungan pantas
oleh pemberontak Sunni yang diketuai oleh kumpulan Negeri Islam - sebelum ini
dikenali sebagai Negeri Islam di Iraq dan Levant - telah membolehkan mereka
mengisytiharkan wilayah di Iraq dan Syria di bawah kawalan mereka, untuk
menjadi sebuah negara Islam yang baru, atau khalifah.
Kumpulan itu
terutamanya terdiri daripada radikal Islam Sunni, dan telah memenangi sokongan
di kalangan mereka di Iraq tidak puas hati dengan sifat eksklusif kerajaan pusat
negara itu yang dikuasai Syiah.
Kumpulan itu
menguasai bandar negara ke-2 terbesar di Mosul pada 10 Jun apabila militan
Sunni menghalau tentera Iraq keluar dari bandar, memaksa ribuan orang untuk
melarikan diri. Semasa pengambilalihan, ISIS merobohkan tapak suci di seluruh
bandar, termasuk tempat-tempat suci dan masjid.
SUNNI Insurgents take Over NUCLEAE Materials
in Northern IRAQ . .
.
Iraq says
“terrorist groups” have seized nuclear materials used for scientific research
at a university in the country's north. Iraq's UN envoy has appealed for help
to "stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or
abroad."
According to Iraq's
UN ambassador, Mohamed Ali Alhakim, about 40 kilograms of uranium compounds
were kept at Mosul University. He added that such materials "can be used
in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction."
"Terrorist
groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of
the control of the state," Alhakim told UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
in the July 8 letter obtained by Reuters on Wednesday.
Alhakim warned that the materials
could be smuggled out of Iraq.
The stolen
materials are not believed to be enriched uranium, which would make it
difficult for them to be made into weapons, a government source told Reuters.
"The Republic
of Iraq is notifying the international community of these dangerous
developments and asking for help and the needed support to stave off the threat
of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad," Alhakim said in a letter.
Iraq acceded to the
Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material on Monday, according
to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Members of the convention
agree to protect nuclear facilities and material to be used for peaceful domestic
use, storage, and transport.
"It also
provides for expanded cooperation between and among states regarding rapid
measures to locate and recover stolen or smuggled nuclear material, mitigate
any radiological consequences of sabotage, and prevent and combat related
offences," the IAEA stated.
The report comes
just one day after Iraq told the UN that insurgents took control of a former
chemical weapons facility located north of Baghdad. Alhakim said in a letter to
the UN that “armed terrorist groups” took over the Muthanna complex on June 11.
The facility holds the remnants of a former chemical weapons program.
In his letter to
the UN chief, which was made public on Tuesday, Alhakim also pleaded for help
from the international community. "The Government of Iraq requests the
States Members of the United Nations to understand the current inability of
Iraq, owing to the deterioration of the security situation, to fulfill its
obligations to destroy chemical weapons," he said.
The rapid gains by
Sunni insurgents led by the Islamic State group – formerly known as the Islamic
State in Iraq and the Levant – have allowed them to declare the territory in
Iraq and Syria under their control, to be a new Islamic state, or caliphate.
The group is primarily composed of radical Sunni Muslims, and has won the
support among those in Iraq disgruntled with the exclusive nature of the
country's Shia-dominated central government.
The group took
control of the country's second largest city of Mosul on June 10 when Sunni
militants drove Iraq’s army out of the city, forcing thousands of civilians to
flee. During the takeover, ISIS demolished sacred sites throughout the city,
including shrines and mosques.

Sheikh Fathi’s shrine – one of
Mosul’s most important, dating back to 1760, was among those destroyed.
Mosul was captured

Maliki telah
bersumpah untuk mengalahkan jihad; pada hari Jumaat dia secara terbuka
menyatakan bahawa: "Menarik daripada medan perang manakala yang dihadapi
oleh organisasi pengganas yg bertentangan dgn Islam & umat manusia akan
menunjukkan kelemahan dan bukannya membawa tanggungjawab yang sah, negara dan
moral saya."
"Saya telah
berikrar kepada Allah bahawa saya akan terus berjuang di sisi angkatan tentera
& sukarelawan kita sehingga kita mengalahkan musuh2 Iraq &
rakyatnya," katanya.

Maliki has sworn to
defeat the jihadists; on Friday he stated publicly that: “Pulling out of the
battlefield while facing terrorist organizations that are against Islam and
humanity would show weakness instead of carrying out my legitimate, national
and moral responsibility.”
“I have vowed to God that I will
continue to fight by the side of our armed forces
and volunteers until we
defeat the enemies of Iraq and its people,” he said.
