Wanted Iraqi VP al-Hashemi accuses Iran of using Iraqi airspace to transit weapons to Syria
(RTTNews) - Iraq's fugitive Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi has accused Iran of unlawfully using Iraqi airspace to transit weapons and ammunition to Syria.

"Iraq is being used as a corridor for Iranian weapons to reach Syria," he alleged in an interview with Turkish newspaper 'Today's Zaman' on Sunday.

Hashemi said although Iraq vowed to comply with the resolutions of the Arab League and that of the United Nations Security Council, the reality might be different. "The opponents in Syria have arrested many Iraqi officials with charges of smuggling weapons," he said adding that "I have no material evidence, but I have information about that."
