| 8 senior Iraqi officers executed |
| 2002-11-17 |
| Eight senior Iraqi officers were executed after they were accused of triggering an explosion at a missile storage site which they supervised, a Kurdish weekly said on Sunday. The Mediya reported that the officers, who were responsible for the depot in Biji, north of Baghdad, were executed on November 8 in the presence of Ali Hassan al-Majid, a cousin of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Typical, purge the ranks before going to war. Sammy is known to admire Stalin. It published the names of the officers, including those of a general and a colonel. There was no confirmation of the report by the Iraqi authorities or other sources. It sounds real. The Mediya weekly is published in the UN enclave of northern Iraq, where the majority ethnic Kurds have enjoyed a degree of autonomy since Iraqi troops were defeated in the 1991 Gulf war. Radio Azadi, which broadcasts from Iraqi Kurdistan, said meanwhile that the bodies of 12 women, who were freed from prison under an Iraqi amnesty on October 20, were found lying in a vacant lot in Baghdad. The amnesty did seem too good to be true. Of course it could be their families just trying to clear the shame from the family tree. |
