JNN , 26.09.10 “Huj. Sheikh Taleb Hossein al-Khazraji” chairman of the center and Imam of the Shia mosque was injured in the attack which was organized by an armed terrorist group.
Along with the threatening of Huj. Khazraji to kidnapping and death, the attackers destroyed the São Paulo Islamic Center’s equipments and insulted its members.
Although it’s been a few days since the occurrence of the attack, the Brazilian Police have not yet released any outcome information on the robbery and attack on the Shia Center.
Regarding reliable sources, there is a possibility of Zionist groups which are very active in Latin America being involved in bribing terrorism gangs for doing so to weaken the activities of the Shia Center.
The Shia Center was attended at this year’s San Paulo Books Fair and presented Shia books, such as Nahj-Al-Balaghah and Shahid Sadr’s Books in Portuguese. This Center also released an important statement condemning the Quran burning.
Since, Huj. Khazraji has personally translated and published many Shia books in Portuguese such as The Great Leader of Islamic Revolution’s Point of Views and has done other Islamic activities; this could be the main reason of the latest attack.
The main purpose of these acts is to put the pressure on him and his family to prevent the outspread of Ahlul-Bayt (a.s) principles in Latin America.
