(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Following the release of new secret documents by Wikileaks website condemning the US occupation in Iraq, Hezbollah denounced "all terrorist crimes committed by the American occupation forces in Iraq." In a statement it released on Monday, the Resistance movement said that the Wikileaks files are a clear condemnation of the magnitude of the crimes committed by the occupation. "Hezbollah would also like to note that all international laws and agreements hold the occupation forces responsible for what happens in the territories it occupies," the statement read. "We also consider that they are a condemnation of the practices of American troops against Iraqi civilians and their violation of the rights of the Iraqi people," it added. Hezbollah also urged the United Nations to punish those responsible for brutalities against Iraqi civilians. "We wonder whether or not all this information is enough for the United Nations and its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to awake and begin a true investigation into the horrible crimes committed against the oppressed Iraqi people from the beginning of the occupation until today," according to the statement. "We also call for focusing Arab and international attention on these crimes in order to put on trial those who perpetrated, ordered and were silent towards these horrific acts whether in the United States or elsewhere, especially former US President George W. Bush and all officials of the American administration."
