BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: A spokesman for al-Iraqiya Bloc, led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, has said on Wednesday that “some parties are behind attempts to divide its ranks, through malitious statements.”

“There is harmony among the leaders and members of al-Iraqiyia Bloc nowadays,” Shaker Kattab told Aswat al-Iraq news agency, charging what he termed as “certain parties, issuing some malitious statements, aimed at splitting the ranks of al-Iraqiya, neglecting fact that it enjoys a unified decision and no differences exist in its ranks.”

“The decisions of al-Iraqiya and its leadership are obligatory for all, and I don’t think that such attempts deserve major attention. All attempts to split the ranks of Iraqiya are desperate attempts,” Kattab said.

The Iraqi political blocs over the past few weeks have been concentrating on nominating their candidates for the new Iraqi government, including the posts of vice-presidents, deputy-prime ministers and different cabinet posts, within sharp competition among those blocs to gain some leading ministerial posts and positions.
