US army denies incursions into Sadr City or rescuing 300 hostages
(KUNA) -- The US army denied on Friday involvement in incursions into various neighborhoods in Sadr City or in rescuing 300 hostages, among them being a high-ranking Health ministry official.
| Okay. We're confused. Who did it, then? |
US army spokesman Major General William Caldwell told KUNA reports of these incidents were "inaccurate." The US army had no information to substantiate such reports up until today, he asserted. "According to our information, there are no other forces that might have had any connection with goings on in Sadr City" or with regard to hostage rescue, said General Caldwell.
| Weird. Space aliens? Time travelers? Samoan mercenaries? |
Reports earlier today had claimed that the US Army had freed 300 hostages in one of the Sadr City neighborhoods and that one them had been Raad al-Mahdawi, director of Health services at Diyala, who had been kidnapped a number of weeks ago from the ministry of Health building in Baghdad.
