Iran-U.S.-Attacks  /POL/                                              


   Agents behind U.S. attacks must be brought to justice: Official   


New York, Sept 29, IRNA -- Iran's Permanent Represetative to the      


United Nations Hadi Nejad Hosseinian said Saturday the main agents    


behind the suicide attacks on the United States should be brought to  


justice dding that no country would oppose such anti-terrorism move.  


    Speaking to IRNA, Nejad Hosseinian said now there are differences 


among states on the modalities of dealing with the terrorism in the   


long run. He said all the top-level authorities of Iran have condemned


the attacks on the United States and expressed sympathy with  the     


survivors of the victims.                                             


    He said terrorism is a global problem which poses threat to       


the peace, peaceful co-existance of people, freedom and global        


culture.                                                              


    He said all the countries should cooperate to eradicate terrorism 


while adding that to do so one should try first to identify the root  


causes of this ominous phenomenon.                                    


    He went on to say that Iran based on its Islamic beliefs would    


spare no efforts to eradicate terrorism.                              


    Now all the world countries are determined to effectively fight   


against terrorism, he said but added that the anti-terrorism campaign 


should be defined throughout the international institutions.          


    He stated that the United Nations as the only comprehensive       


institution that could guarantee the peace and stability on the       


 international arena and all the countries are its members is         


competent to lead the anti-terrorism efforts.                         


    Any decision-making or agreements between the states out of the   


framework of the United Nations may result in division between the    


countries and this may even compound the current problem, he noted.   


    Nejad Hosseinian warned against any hasty action that could give  


rise to the tension and further drawbacks.                            


    He said the Zionists who have been involved in crimes against the 


innocent people in the Middle East may now take advantage of the      


current situation and bring the West and the Muslim World to a        


destructive feud.

End
