Iraqi soldiers threaten to kill Sunni leader-party

BAGHDAD, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Iraqi soldiers have
threatened to kill one of Iraq's senior Sunni Arab
political leaders this week, his political bloc said on
Thursday.

The Accordance Front, the biggest Sunni Arab bloc in
parliament, said soldiers from the 30th Brigade of the
Iraqi Army's 5th Division arrived at the offices of the
Front's leader, Adnan al-Dulaimi, in western Baghdad
on Wednesday.

The Front, which triggered a crisis this month by
withdrawing its six ministers from Iraq's Shi'ite-led
government, said in a statement that the soldiers had
first threatened Dulaimi's security guards.

It quoted their commander, identified only as Colonel
Raheem, as saying: "We will cut off the head of Adnan
al-Dulaimi and your heads, and we will blow up this
office and your houses."
