EXCERPT:
BLITZER: ....Samir Sumaidaie is Iraq's ambassador to the United States....
BLITZER: And I know you're a diplomat, but are you complaining about Syria's role in facilitating these outside foreign fighters coming in?
SUMAIDAIE: I'm not pointing the fingers against any particular country. But I am telling you that most of the suicide bombers are non-Iraqis and I know they don't parachute into the country. They must come from somewhere. We know also that the Syrians have been making efforts to stop the inflow of terrorists and funds and the takings we have had from our Iranian neighbors.
At the end of the day, we have to have a concerted effort and political will by all. This has been expressed in Sharm el-Sheikh conference. And we will watch the situation on the ground, and we accept and take people at their word.
