The Kitabat Newspaper published an editorial titled: "Signs of forming a political council for the Iraqi resistance, and liberating Iraq agenda," detailing that six Iraqi main national resistance groups to resist the U.S. occupation have announced establishing the "Political Council for the Iraqi Resistance."

The editorial said that "the six groups called, in a statement, for the liberation of Iraq from the foreign occupation."

The paper commented that this is the first time an armed group announced the formation of a political council.

The political spokesman said there are two principles we work on carrying out: "first, the occupation of Iraq which is led by the U.S. is not legitimate, and second armed resistance is a legitimate way to force the foreign forces out of our land."

Its agenda consists of 14 articles, some of which consider the U.S. occupation of Iraq as "an assault and oppression that is rejected legally and traditionally, and resisting the occupation is a right by all laws and legislations" the editorial cited the spokesman commenting.
