TEHRAN – MP Alaedin Borujerdi has condemned the assassination of Pakistan’s former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, saying, “Today U.S. trainees are the elements of terror acts in the region.”

“In fact, the Americans are the founders of terrorist activities in the Middle East,” the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee chairman told the Mehr News Agency on Sunday.
“The U.S. trained Al-Qaeda to defeat the Soviets during the Soviet Union’s occupation of Afghanistan, but today these trainees are acting as the elements of terrorist activities in the region, even against the U.S. itself.”
He added, “Since at present the United States is doing the same job in Iraq and is supplying tens of thousands of irresponsible forces with weapons, it is predicted that in the near future we will witness a huger wave of terror acts in the region, for which the U.S. should be held accountable.
