Iraqi Embassy in Brazil Burns Documents
Wed Apr 9, 5:14 PM ET BRASILIA, Brazil - Iraqi Embassy employees in Brasilia started burning documents Wednesday after TV stations broadcast images of a Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) statue being toppled in Baghdad, police said. Police said they could see men outside the embassy burning boxes and large quantities of paper. "There were some workers who took papers from the offices to the garden to burn them," said police Col. Abinor Deilvane, whose unit protects embassies in the Brazilian (news - web sites) capital. Media photographers who arrived a short time later saw three piles of smoldering paper inside the embassy's walls next to the building. An embassy official who said he was the secretary of Iraqi Ambassador Jarallah Alobaidy denied documents were being destroyed. "It's all lies," said the official, Abdu Saif. "We are only burning garbage and recently cut grass." "Move along now, people. There's nothing to see here." A short time later, a man who answered the phone at the embassy said only, "I'm not working now" and hung up. With these kinds of shenanigans going on, there's no need to actually find WMD to justify the war. That regime was rotten to the core. If they did have WMD, let's just hope we find them before they end up in the hands of terrorists. Posted by: Anonymous 2003-04-09 |
