Cessation of Suicide Car Bombings in Baghdad Proves CIA Was Behind Them
From Jihad UnspunThe word on the street in Baghdad is that the the cessation of suicide car bombings is proof that the CIA was behind them. Why? Because as one man states, "[CIA agents are] too busy fighting now, and the unrest they wanted to cause by the bombings is now upon them." True or not, it certainly doesnât bode well for the occupiersâ image in Iraq.... When asked if the U.S. military were bombing civilians in Falluja, he [a doctor who asked not to be named] stated, "Of course the Americans are bombing civilians, along with the revolutionaries. One year ago there was no revolution in Falluja. But they began searching homes and humiliating people, and this annoyed the people. The people became angry and demonstrated, then the Americans shot the demonstrators, and this started the revolution in Falluja. It is the same in Sadr City. Aggression against civilians has caused all of this. Nothing happened for the first two months of the occupation. People were happy to have Saddam gone. And now, we hope for the mercy of God if the Americans invade Najaf." Cluster bombs are reported to have been used commonly in Iraq both during the invasion and the occupation. Another doctor at Noman Hospital, who asked to remain anonymous, stated that he saw the U.S. military dropping cluster bombs on the Al-Dora area last December, "Iâve seen it all with my own eyes. The U.S. later removed the unexploded bombs by soldiers picking up the bomblets and putting them in their helmets." He also believes that cluster bombs are currently being used in Falluja, based on reports from field doctors presently working there, as well as statements taken from wounded civilians of Falluja. He also claimed that many of the Falluja victims he had treated had been shot with âdum-dum bulletsâ, which are hollow point bullets that are designed to inflict maximum internal damage. These are also referred to as âexpanding bullets.â Nearing the end of the discussion, the first doctor stated, "The U.S. induces aggression. If you donât attack me, I will never attack you. The U.S. is stimulating the aggression of the Iraqi people!" A doctor who asked to remain anonymous at Al-Karam Hospital in Baghdad reported that another doctor from his hospital had just returned from Najaf. She was unable to work there, she told Al-Karam, because Spanish military forces had occupied its hospital. The roof of the Al-Sadr Teaching hospital in Najaf overlooks their base, so soldiers have taken it over for strategic purposes. The doctor at Al-Karam Hospital stated, "The Americans donât care what happens to Iraqis." .... Hussein Kareem, the Assistant Administrator at the Mohammed Baker Hakim Hospital in Sadr City, said that while no soldiers had occupied or visited the hospital, U.S. soldiers shot one ambulance from his hospital, injuring the driver. He also stated that during the first day of fighting in Sadr City two weeks ago, he received 32 dead bodies, mostly of women and children, and 90 wounded.... At Yarmouk Hospital, a lead doctor discussed the situation in Falluja. .... He is outraged by the situation in Falluja, which he calls a massacre, "The Americans shot at some of our doctors who were traveling to Falluja to provide aid. One of our doctors was injured when a missile struck his vehicle. I have also been told by my doctors in Falluja that the Americans are shooting ambulances there, as well as at the main hospital there. My doctors in Falluja have reported to me that the Americans are using cluster bombs. Patients weâve treated from there are reporting the same. .... One of my doctors in Falluja asked the Americans there if he could remove a wounded patient from the city. The soldier wouldnât let him move the victim, and said, OEWe have dead soldiers here too. This is a war zone.â The doctor wasnât allowed to remove the wounded man, and he died. So many doctors and ambulances have been turned back from checkpoints there." This same doctor reported that he saw American soldiers killing women and children, as well as shooting ambulances in Falluja. .... "What freedom did America bring us? Freedom of the machine gun? So I am free to take my gun and shoot you?" Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-04-20 |
