Seminaries in the holy city of Karbala and the custodianships of the holy shrines of Imam Hussein (AS) and Hazrat Abbas (AS) called on the Iraqi government to intervene to protect the pilgrimage sites in Syria.
They issued a statement on Friday urging that the holy sites in Syria, especially the holy shrine of Hazrat Zeynab (SA), should be guarded against terrorist attacks, Al-Ray Al-Aam news agency reported.
The statement also underlined that the clashing groups in Syria must avoid desecrating holy sites.
It further condemned certain Arab countries that attempt to foment unrest and provoke sectarian and tribal sedition in Syria.
There have been reports in recent weeks that terrorist groups in Syria threatened to blow up holy shrines in Syria, including the mausoleum of Hazrat Zeynab (SA).
Clashes between the Syrian army and armed rebels continues in the northern parts of the country. The army is said to have removed rebels from the city of Aleppo.
