The following is an excerpt from an interview with Lebanese information minister Eli Al-Farzili:
Eli Al-Farzili: Blowing up the Assyrian and Chaldean churches (in Iraq) did not just happen by chance. It occurred under Zionist supervision created by (Jay) Garner after he destroyed the Iraqi army in order to create suitable conditions for dividing Iraq. He did this in order to justify the fleeing of the Christians, not only from Iraq, but from all the Arab countries.
