The Iraqi presidential guards prevent the Iraqi people from leaving the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad. IRNA correspondent here said on Thursday that the terrified people of Baghdad were trying to leave the city but the Iraqi presidential guards forced them to stay in the city in order to make use of them as human shield. According to the report, the Iraqi regime has settled its sensitive military units including the missile launching pads in the residential areas so that in case of the US and British attacks and killing of the civilians, it would make use of the attacks as a propaganda means. Such measures taken by the Iraqi army have made the people horrified especially when they expect the intensification of the attacks in the coming days. After the al-Sha'b residential area was hit by several missiles, it was rumored that the Iraqi regime, itself, had launched the missiles upon the residential areas, the report said, adding that claims made by the Pentagon that the US and British forces did not launch the missile attacks supported the rumors.
So it wasn't a stray, but a propaganda job? Not at all surprising... |
