Iraq-Jordan
Some 800 foreigners imprisoned in Abu Ghraib
2004-06-04
excerted from IWPR daily summary of Iraqi News sources.
Informed sources have revealed a document identifying some 790 non-Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison. There are 17 from Saudi Arabia, 9 from Kuwait, 30 from Lebanon, 21 from Yemen, 6 from Algeria, 13 from Egypt, 35 from Jordan, 7 from Libya, 8 from Palestine, 9 from Sudan, 22 from Syria, 2 from Tunisia and 3 from Morocco.
Let's see, 790 minus the 182 listed leaves 608 without a country. Wonder if they came from that un-named country to the east of Iraq that is absent from the list?
Most of the terrorist operations in the country were executed by non-Iraqi elements working for organised bodies with the aim of spreading insecurity and riots inside Iraq. They made use of the absence of the control of borders with neighbouring countries enabling them to enter Iraq and work against its ambitions and interests. (Al-Adala is issued daily by the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.)

#5  This only proves how "suicidal" Islam is and the intelligence it engenders in its acolytes. Can you imagine a similar infiltration of catholics from America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina, etc. to Ireland to combat the Brits in Ulster? Cannon fodder, nothing less, nothing more!

#4  Surely they're all innocent tourists wrongfully imprisoned by our troops--a bunch of young, single men toting home souvenir AK47's and RPG's from Saddam's Mother of All Amusement Parks™, detained and held without any justification!
