US force storms faculty building W. Baghdad, arrests security guards
2008-02-09
(KUNA) -- A US Army force stormed a faculty building in Baghdad and arrested its security guards without providing any justification for the operation, spokesman of the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Basil Al-Khatib told KUNA on Friday.

The force broke into the dentistry faculty building of al-Mustansyria University western Baghdad this afternoon and arrested three security guards, Al-Khatib said, adding that members of the force went through some of the faculty's items and documents. The University's dean will hold a press conference tomorrow at the faculty to reveal details of the incident, the spokesman noted.

It'd work on me. Even before they turned on the electricity! I'd sound like tweety on Helium!

A little water-boarding, and they'll sing like canaries. Battery cables hooked to certain parts of the anatomy also work wonders, especially if the other end is hooked to a 2KW generator...
